Hello. I have this search:

*  app="youtube" | top  limit=20 srcip by app showperc=f countfield=total

of this log:

date=2015-01-14 time=08:32:10 srcip=192.168.1.200 app="Youtube" rcvdbyte=121 
date=2015-01-14 time=08:38:10 srcip=192.168.1.200 app="Youtube" rcvdbyte=500
date=2015-01-14 time=08:32:10 srcip=192.168.1.200 app="Youtube" rcvdbyte=900

I need to add the total of bytes received (rcvdbyte) per IP in that App. I tried with stats sum before and after the top but the results are blank. Thanks

It didn't work. rcvbytes = null
