Hi

I want to do a search of something i would think would be very simple but i cant get it to work.

I want to compare the Log_Level Events that i have to the total events for that day?

So for example WARN/TotalEvents in 24 Hours.

Hope someone can help

Try something like this.

your base search Log_Level=* | stats count as TotalEvents count(eval(Log_Level="WARN")) as WARN 

OR

your base search Log_Level=* | eval WARN=if(Log_Level="WARN",1,0) |  stats count as TotalEvents sum(WARN) as WARN

That worked flawlessly i think i made it to complicated.

To get the Percentage i added eval percentage=(WARN/TotalEvents) | table percentage is this the right way to do it ?

Yes.. I would use something like this for more human readable format of percentage

...| eval percentage=round(WARN*100/TotalEvents,2))
