Splunk Search

Need to use top-like useother functionality with chart command.

I have some json data that was indexed with sourcetype=_json. There is one field in the json that is an array. I need to show a chart of the counts by the values in the array. The wrinkle is that one of the values in the array is special. It should ONLY be counted if it is the ONLY value of the array. For example, if the array looks like:

procs{} = A, B, special
procs{} = B, special
procs{} = special
procs{} = C,B

The counts should be: A: 1, B:3, C:1, special:1

index=foo | rename procs{} as procs | eval numprocs=mvcount(procs) | mvexpand(procs) | stats count(eval((procs="special" AND numprocs=1) OR (procs != "special"))) as count by procs | sort -count | head 10

This search works great. However, I need to only show the top 10 procs and have an "other" column similar to how top works. How would I do that?

Try something like this:

... | sort -count | eventstats sum(count) as total | streamstats count as number | head 11 | eventstats sum(count) as total2 | eval count = if(number==11, total2 - total, count) | eval procs = if(number=11, "OTHER", procs) | fields - total total2 number
