I'm trying to calculate Total count and avg(count) of users on a specific file...

I don't think it's the right way to do, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

index=web  sourcetype=web_access  refe_domain=sample.com  file="checkout.jsp"  JSESSIONID!="-"  | dedup JSESSIONID  |stats dc(trueclientip) as TotalUsers by file | stats avg(TotalUsers)

Try something like this

index=web  sourcetype=web_access  refe_domain=sample.com  file="checkout.jsp"  JSESSIONID!="-"  | dedup JSESSIONID | bucket span=1d _time |stats dc(trueclientip) as TotalUsers by _time file | eventstats avg(TotalUsers) as AvgUsers by file

You may want to look at the appendpipe command.

index=web  sourcetype=web_access  refe_domain=sample.com  file="checkout.jsp"  JSESSIONID!="-"  | dedup JSESSIONID  |stats dc(trueclientip) as TotalUsers by file | appendpipe [stats avg(TotalUsers)]

It's giving me the same values under TotalUsers and avg(TotalUsers), not sure if i'm asking the question in a right way...

I'm looking for TotalUsers/day and also avg users..?

The per day requirement is not in the question.
