Is it possible to add "%" next to the value?

Please help on the following:
1) Instead of values 2.8685303234545950 I want to restrict to 2 decimal places like 2.87

2) I want to append "%"  at the end of 2.87, like 2.87%

index=MyPCF
| fields server_instance cpu_percentage
| timechart mAX(cpu_percentage) as CPU_Percentage by server_instance usenull=true limit=0

Below is the current output I get:

Try something like this

| foreach *
  [| eval "<<FIELD>>"=round('<<FIELD>>',2)."%"]

I tried this but getting the same result, % not getting uppended to cpu_percent value

index=MyPCF
| fields server_instance cpu_percentage
| foreach * [| eval cpu_percent=round('cpu_percentage',2)."%"]
| timechart mAX(cpu_percent) as CPU_Percentage by server_instance usenull=true limit=0

No.

Firstly, using foreach with staticaly named fields makes no sense.

Secondly, you should modify your results _after_ the timechart.

Thirdly, I prefer using fieldformat in such case, not eval - this way you can display values with the format you want but not lose the original values.

So use the solution @ITWhisperer showed but afhter your timechart command (and you can replace the eval command with fieldformat as I wrote).

Hi, 
Thanks for the reply, I am still learning splunk pardon for my ignorance. I tried as you mentioned

index=MyPCF
| fields server_instance cpu_percentage
| timechart mAX(cpu_percentage) as CPU_Percentage by server_instance usenull=true limit=0
| foreach * [| fieldformat cpu_percentage=round('cpu_percentage',2)."%"]

Still same result

If you want to use fieldformat, that's fine, but you still need to use the foreach command as I suggested

index=MyPCF
| fields server_instance cpu_percentage
| timechart mAX(cpu_percentage) as CPU_Percentage by server_instance usenull=true limit=0
| foreach * [| fieldformat "<<FILED>>"=round('<<FIELD>>',2)."%"]

I tried both

index=MyPCF
| fields server instance cpu_percentage
| eval cpu_percentage=round(cpu_percentage,2)
| eval server_instance = 'server' + "_" + 'instance'
| timechart mAX(cpu_percentage) as CPU_Percentage by server_instance usenull=true limit=0
| foreach * [| fieldformat "<<FILED>>"=cpu_percentage  . "%"]


And

index=MyPCF
| fields server instance cpu_percentage
| eval cpu_percentage=round(cpu_percentage,2)
| eval server_instance = 'server' + "_" + 'instance'
| timechart mAX(cpu_percentage) as CPU_Percentage by server_instance usenull=true limit=0
| foreach * [| eval "<<FILED>>"=cpu_percentage  ."%"]

below is the output I get:

Don't replace the <<FIELD>> part on the right side of the eval in foreach with a static field name.

Still the same, result whether its eval or fieldformat format, result is same.

index=MyPCF
| fields server instance cpu_percentage
| eval cpu_percentage=round(cpu_percentage,2)
| eval server_instance = 'server' + "_" + 'instance'
| timechart mAX(cpu_percentage) as CPU_Percentage by server_instance usenull=true limit=0
| foreach * [| eval "<<FILED>>"=round('<<FIELD>>',2)."%"]

Then changed to the following and tried, same result

| foreach * [| eval "<<FILED>>"= "<<FIELD>>" ."%"]

| foreach * [| eval "<<FILED>>"= '<<FIELD>>' ."%"]

| foreach * [| eval "<<FILED>>"= <<FIELD>> ."%"]
