Where do I put the "useother" argument in my search?

Hi,

I have a search (Below) that I want to run to show me license details by date, sourcetype, and host. Unfortunately, it's only giving me the top 10 hosts. How can I list them all?

index=_internal source=*license_usage.log type="Usage" idx=ngcc* pool=auto* | eval h=if(len(h)=0 OR isnull(h),"(SQUASHED)",h) | eval s=if(len(s)=0 OR isnull(s),"(SQUASHED)",s) | eval idx=if(len(idx)=0 OR isnull(idx),"(UNKNOWN)",idx) | bin _time span=1d | stats sum(b) as b by _time, pool, s, st, h, idx  | search pool="auto_generated_pool_enterprise" | timechart span=1d sum(b) AS volumeB by h fixedrange=false  | join type=outer _time [search index=_internal source=*license_usage.log type="RolloverSummary" earliest=-30d@d  | search pool="auto_generated_pool_enterprise" | eval _time=_time - 43200 | bin _time span=1d | stats latest(poolsz) AS  "pool size" by _time] | fields - _timediff  | foreach * [eval <>=round('<>'/1024/1024/1024, 3)]

Sounds like you need limit=0 and not userother. By default, timechart will only show 10 columns and group everything else in the "OTHER" group. Hence the useother, if set to false, will hide the "OTHER" group. To show more than 10, you should use limit=x where 0 means unlimited. So in you make the following change

... | timechart limit=0 span=1d sum(b) AS volumeB by h | ...

Hi a212830,

since useother is a option for timechart http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.4.0/SearchReference/Timechart use it there:

 ... | timechart span=1d sum(b) AS volumeB by h useother=f fixedrange=false |...

Hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS

Thanks. My results are still only returning 10 hosts. What am I missing?
