Hi ,

I have query which uses the chart command . Now i need only top ten values to be displayed for that query . used top but didnt get the proper results.

sourcetype="X" | eval a=mvfilter(eventtype LIKE "%_Metrics") |stats count by UniqueID,a |chart sum(count) by UniqueID,a | fillnull value="0"

here a contains the eventtypes

my results are something likethis..

UniqueId A_metrics B_metrics C_metrics
