How to |addtotals on a |stats list result?

Hi Everyone,

I would like to add a row, about a total (sum), for each segment list (see the picture), and if a list has only one value than there is no need to show a total. (only if possible)

here is what I got:

index="Test" |stats count by "Event Category", "Threat Type" |stats list("Threat Type") as "Threat Type" list(count) as Count by "Event Category"

Using |addtotal doesn't work at all.

You could probably add an addcoltotals at the end of this query but haven't tested. Note the change is in the second stats command where I'm doing a sum of the count field

index="Test" |stats count by "Event Category", "Threat Type" |stats sum(count) as Total list("Threat Type") as "Threat Type" list(count) as Count by "Event Category" | where Total > 1 | sort -Total

If you want to sort the results within each section you would need to do that between the stats commands. For example

index="Test" |stats count by "Event Category", "Threat Type" | sort -count |stats sum(count) as Total list("Threat Type") as "Threat Type" list(count) as Count by "Event Category" | where Total > 1 | sort -Total

Try something like this

index="Test" |stats count by "Event Category", "Threat Type" |stats list("Threat Type") as "Threat Type" list(count) as Count by "Event Category" | appendpipe [| stats sum(Count) as Count by "Event Category" | eventstats count as noofrows | where noofrows>1| eval "Event Category"='Event Category'."-Total"  ] | appendpipe [| stats sum(Count) as Count count as noofrows | where noofrows>1 | eval "Event Category"="Grand Total" ]

I tested this method and added the addtotals command...it works well enough:

index="Test" 
| stats count by "Event Category", "Threat Type"
| stats sum(count) as Total list("Threat Type") as "Threat Type" list(count) as Count by "Event Category"
| addtotals col=t fieldname=Total label=TOTAL labelfield="Event Category"
| table "Event Category" "Threat Type" "Count" "Total"
