I use Splunk TA-Connectivity,
I have a search that test internet connection by using below search, the event shows pinging the url is successful:

index=connectivity sourcetype=webping url="*google*" 
| stats values(url) latest(description) AS status latest(action) AS action by url 
| fields url status action

alt text

Is there any way to use this as Splunk ITSI KPI?
What is the best way to incorporate text based value into KPI?

May be I simply adjust the search like below?

index=connectivity sourcetype=webping url="*detik*" OR url="*google*"
| stats values(url) latest(description) AS status latest(action) AS action by url 
| fields url status action
| eval kpi_status = if(status == online, 100, 0)

So I simply use kpi_status field as the Threshold Field,

any other better ways? Thanks!!

As per your other question, try not to use stats in your KPI queries, you don't need it.

index=connectivity sourcetype=webping url="*detik*" OR url="*google*" | eval kpi_msg=if(status="online", 100, 0)

Will you split the KPI by the url field? Have you considered how you want to combine that to indicate the aggregate health of the service?
