Alerting

Multiple conditions case statements

I'm running a query to label memory thresholds for our app clusters, I would like to create a field called "eff_mem_threshold" based  off the number of blades app name.  But for the life of me I can't figure out why this case statement isn't working.  What I mean is that  it only returns the eff_mem_threshold value of the first  pair for each app and blade count. I've added an example below the case statement

Case statement

query|eval eff_mem_threshold =case(APP_NAME="EXCH_AD" and Blades<=5, 40,APP_NAME="EXCH_AD" and Blades>=17,46,APP_NAME="EXCH_AD" and Blades>=6 and Blades<=16,44,APP_NAME="VCO" and Blades<=5, 56,APP_NAME="VCO" and Blades>=17,64,APP_NAME="VCO" and Blades>=6 and Blades<=16,61,APP_NAME="SQL" and Blades<=5, 68,APP_NAME="SQL" and Blades>=17,78,APP_NAME="SQL" and Blades>=6 and Blades<=16,74)

Hi @codedtech,

The only reason seems to be is Blades field value is zero or less than 6. Is it possible that Blades count values are being calculated after this eval? Can you please share all SPL?

If this reply helps you an upvote and "Accept as Solution" is appreciated.

That was it, sometimes staring at your own code can make you miss the simple stuff.
