I have this search and I keep getting "Error in 'geostats' command: The argument 'over' is invalid". How I can replace "over" to get what I am expecting?

index=X source=X host=XX "request from IP *"  | rex "(?i) IP (?P[^ ]+)"   |  rex "(?i) username (?P[^ ]+)"  | iplocation clientIP | geostats latfield=lat longfield=lon | iplocation clientIP | geostats latfield=lat longfield=lon dc(UsrName) over clientIP

Hi raindrop18,
try something like this:

index=X source=X host=XX "request from IP *" 
| rex "(?i) IP (?P[^ ]+)" 
| rex "(?i) username (?P[^ ]+)" 
| iplocation IP
| geostats latfield=lat longfield=lon dc(UsrName) by clientIP 

see http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.3/SearchReference/Geostats

Bye.

so this query on regular chart showed me, sorted the client IP has the highest number of username. just added "| sort - dc(UsrName)" at the end. currently on geostats only see the lowest number.

Output should be sorted by clientIp.
What is the field you would use?
Bye.
