i'd like to produce a field per event that's the running sum of some field as a percentage of the total sum of that field over the whole search.
for example, if this were excel, my sheet would look something like this:
+-----------------------+---------------+-------------+
| original field values | running total | what i want |
+-----------------------+---------------+-------------+
| 1 | 1 | 20% |
| 1 | 2 | 40% |
| 1 | 3 | 60% |
| 1 | 4 | 80% |
| 1 | 5 | 100% |
+-----------------------+---------------+-------------+
i see that streamstats or accum can generate my "running total" column,
but to get my "what i want" column, i need the output of stats c() or stats sum(),
which destroys the individual events.
i feel like it might be a job for a sub-search and appendcols, but i haven't been able to work it out.
thanks in advance,
orion
