index=_internal source="*metric*" |convert memk(kb) as KB |table kb , KB

Thanks

this seems to work.

| makeresults | eval gb=1, gb=gb . "g" | convert memk(gb) as kb_c | eval kb=round(kb_c/1024/1024,2)

Destination will be always as KB.

What difference are you expecting? Are you trying to say that in your example kb is 1000 based and you want to convert to 1024 based. That is not what memk does. In this case just do

| eval KB=round(kb/1.024,3)

If they are both 1024 based, then they are the same number, so memk will not do anything.
