How to display Total Count inside a Chart

Hi,

I have a search like this:

sourcetype=syslog AND host="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" AND mpkg | stats count by username, operation | sort count

This gives me a nice graph, which I've added to a Dashboard:
alt text

However, I would love to get a total count of the Downloads operation be displayed inside the graph, like a Legend of sorts, which will show total downloads were e.g. "157 events" (the count of matches as displayed by the Search view).

How can I do that?

Thanks,
Virgil

If you're using Splunk 6.3+ version, they try something like this (see the token setting in <done> tag and usage in panel title)

<form>
  ......
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <title>Total Results: $resultcount$</title>
        <search>
          <query>sourcetype=syslog AND host="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" AND mpkg | stats count by username, operation | sort count</query>
          <earliest>-15m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        <done>
          <eval token="resultcount">$job.resultCount$</eval>
        </done>
        </search>
      ........
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
.......
</form>
