How can I add a Total for the count of events from different index or sourcetypes?

I'm searching blocked events from the firewall and Palo Alto logs and would like to add a line to show the Total of the two combined. I'm having trouble adding the line showing the total of the counts for the two individual indexes.

Current search:

index=firewalls OR index=paloalto action=blocked | stats count as "Blocked Events" by index

I would like the results to look like

firewalls 10
paloalto 25
total 35

You should use addcoltotals

It will look something like this

| addcoltotals label=Total labelfield=status
