Hi Giuseppe,

I tried. It didn't work. I am fairly new to Splunk, can you look at my query with your query added and see whether am I doing something wrong?

host="service_desk_tickets" Number="" Region="" Priority="*"
| eval Region = upper(Region)
| stats count(Number) by Region Priority
| rename count(Number) as "Total"
| chart sum(Number) AS Number OVER Region BY Priority
| addtotals
| addcoltotals labelfield=Region

Hi
the field in sum must be the one in the previous stats (rename for you):

host="service_desk_tickets" Number="*" Region="*" Priority="*" 
| eval Region = upper(Region)
| stats count(Number) AS Number by Region Priority
| chart sum(Number) AS Number OVER Region BY Priority
| addtotals
| addcoltotals labelfield=Region

Only few hints:

  • when you share a code use Code Sample button (icon 101010), otherwise some char isn't correctly showed,
  • use always index=index_name because search is quicker,
  • put rename in stats,
  • don't use Total as field name because it's the same used in addcoltotals command.

Bye.
Giuseppe
