| eval totalCount = cCounter + lCounter

| eventstats max(totalCount) as maxTotal

| table id, time, message, cCounter, lCounter, totalCount

| sort -totalCount

Hi 😃 my current search command is as above.

How do I actually display only top 5 totalCount? I trying adding "top 5 totalCount", but does not work.

First of all I don't think that's your whole search?

Also, I don't know what you mean by top 5 - do you want to get just the first 5 results? In that case just add a | head 5 at the end and you should be done.
