Is there a way to limit the results to UP TO 3 per host?

Good Afternoon,

I have a query to get disk space from servers. Each server has between 1 and 3 drives. My query will output a list of all Hosts, Drives, Times and Free Space % but the results are for the last minute and show all results for each host in that minute (several each). Is there a way to limit the results to UP TO 3 per host? If I "dedup 3" it creates 3 for the hosts that have 1 or 2 drives. Thank you!

 

 

(index=main) sourcetype=perfmon:LogicalDisk instance!=_Total instance!=Harddisk* | eval FreePct-Other=case( match (instance, "C:"), null(), match(instance,"D:"), null(),true(),storage_free_percent), FreeMB-Other=case( match (instance, "C:"), null(), match(instance,"D:"), null(), true(),Free_Megabytes), FreePct-{instance}=storage_free_percent,FreeMB-{instance}=Free_Megabytes| search counter="% Free Space" | eval Time=strftime (_time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") | table Time, host, instance, Value | eval Value=round(Value,0) | rename Value AS "Free%" | rename instance AS "Drive" | rename host AS "Host"

Give this a try:

(index=main) sourcetype=perfmon:LogicalDisk instance!=_Total instance!=Harddisk*
| eval FreePct-Other=case( match (instance, "C:"), null(), match(instance,"D:"), null(),true(),storage_free_percent), FreeMB-Other=case( match (instance, "C:"), null(), match(instance,"D:"), null(), true(),Free_Megabytes), FreePct-{instance}=storage_free_percent,FreeMB-{instance}=Free_Megabytes
| search counter="% Free Space" ``` why is this not in the index search? ```
| eval data=strftime (_time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") . "|" . instance . "|" Value
| stats values(data) as data by host
| mvexpand data
| tail 3
| eval data = split(data, "|")
| eval Time = mvindex(data, 0), Drive = mvindex(data, 1), "Free%" = mvindex(data, 2)
| rename host AS "Host"
