how to add column averages to a timechart

I have a timechart that shows me the daily throughput for a log source per indexer. I'm trying to find a way to add the average at the bottom for each column of the chart to show me the daily average per indexer. There is a command called "addcoltotal", but I'm looking for the average.

index=_internal source="*metrics.log" group=per_source_thruput series=network earliest=-30d | eval dailyGB=(kb/1024000) | timechart span=1d sum(dailyGB) by host

You can use appendpipe to append an average:

index=_internal source="*metrics.log" group=per_source_thruput series=network earliest=-30d
| eval dailyGB=(kb/1024000)
| timechart span=1d sum(dailyGB) by host
| appendpipe [stats avg(*) as *]

In general, you can use plain old | append [...] and put the whole search, index=_internal source="*metrics.log" group=per_source_thruput series=network earliest=-30d
| eval dailyGB=(kb/1024000)
| timechart span=1d sum(dailyGB) by host
| stats avg(*) as *
, in the subsearch.

appendpipe is only available in 4.3. Any solution for 4.1.8?
