Comments
This command *REALLY* needs a "BY" option (like stats).
Woodcock - It is the same without the reverse command.
I assume that your example is the same as doing this, right?
... | reverse | streamstats current=t sum(quantity) AS total_quantity
Woodcock
Thank you for the suggestion. I will pass it along to the engineering team.
