Multiple top results against IP address

Alright this may seem like a trivial question for some of you Splunkers. I'm new at this:

I'm trying to get the results of a top (n) inside_port for multiple inside_ip.

search string:
inside_ip=xxx.xxx.223.221 OR inside_ip=xxx.xxx.220.224 | top 5 inside_port

results returned:

inside_ip | inside_port | count | percent

223.221 | 22,80,443 | 6,3,1 | 60,30,10

220.224 | 443,3389,22 | 12,6,2 | 60,30,10

or alternative results:

inside_ip | inside_port | count | percent

223.221 | 22 | 6 | 60

223.221 | 80 | 3 | 30

would "top 5 inside_port by inside_ip" get you what your looking for?

lol! Just check out docs.splunk, it's not 1/2 as bad as other product doco i've used in the past as it provides decent examples to better explain some of the concepts behind the actual commands.

This worked perfectly! I don't know who you are, or where you came from, but I owe you a gift! This is going to work perfect, and probably kill the server hahaha!
