Hi,

I have perfmon counter data which has two fields "value" & "countername"
and then I have IIS log data which gives me time_taken.

How can I calculate avg of all perfmon counters respectively and also avg time_taken and show all this in a single table which looks like

avg(value) MeasureName

18.0% Memory
592 TimeTaken

Try like this

(your base search for perfmon counter data) OR (your base search for IIS log data)
| eval MeasureName=coalesce(countername,"TimeTaken")
| eval value=coalesce(value,time_taken)
| stats avg(value) as Avg_Value by MeasureName

Can you post your current search to calculate both separately?

your perfmon search for counter data  
| stats avg(value) as avgvalue by countername 
| rename COMMENT as "The above gets your counters."

| rename COMMENT as "The below adds your time taken."
| append 
    [ your IIS search for events with time_taken 
    | stats avg(time_taken) as avgvalue 
    | eval countername="TimeTaken"]

| rename COMMENT as "And now we rename to match your headings."
| table avgvalue countername
| rename countername as MeasureName 
| rename avgvalue as "avg(value)"

out of curiosity is there any other way apart from using append.
Also if we use append, is it an expensive search

In this case, the append isn't appreciably worse than the basic search, but somesoni2's answer is slightly more efficient and better general practice.

If you CAN write it without append, then you probably SHOULD.
