A very typical query (apart from those I've already posted in my "how the
updates work" mail) would be:
select ip, start::time,
(in_tcp_web + in_tcp_mail + in_udp_and_icmp
+ in_tcp_rest + in_rest) as d_in,
(out_tcp_web + out_tcp_mail + out_udp_and_icmp
+ out_tcp_rest + out_rest) as d_out,
(in_tcp_web + in_tcp_mail + in_udp_and_icmp
+ in_tcp_rest + in_rest
+ out_tcp_web + out_tcp_mail + out_udp_and_icmp
+ out_tcp_rest + out_rest) as d_sum,
((in_tcp_web + in_tcp_mail + in_udp_and_icmp
+ in_tcp_rest + in_rest
+ out_tcp_web + out_tcp_mail + out_udp_and_icmp
+ out_tcp_rest + out_rest) / intlen / 128) as rate_sum
from stats_hr
where start=(select start from stats_hr order by start desc limit 1)
order by (in_tcp_web + in_tcp_mail + in_udp_and_icmp
+ in_tcp_rest + in_rest + out_tcp_web + out_tcp_mail
+ out_udp_and_icmp + out_tcp_rest + out_rest)
desc
limit 20;
