Using fillnull_value or fillnull value with Tstats

I am trying to fill the null values and using a datamodel. I want to use tstats and fill null values will "Null" using fillnull. How should I use it with tstats?

Could you please tell us more about the problem you are trying to solve?  The tstats command does not have a 'fillnull' option.  Recall that tstats works off the tsidx files, which IIRC does not store null values.

According to the Tstats documentation, we can use fillnull_values which takes in a string value. I tired using that, but it didn't work.

Do you have src_host fields with null values?
