How do you calculate availability with 2 searches?

Hi team,

I want to determine the availabilty of my application with the http status code

(Number of request http >= 400 / Number of request http =<200) * 100

I have my two requests :

index=nginx status>=400 host=dnginx01 server_name=toto.toto.fr NOT http_user_agent="*PRTG*" server_name="toto.toto.fr" status=501 | stats count as total

and

index=nginx status<=200 host=dnginx01 server_name=toto.toto.fr NOT http_user_agent="*PRTG*" server_name="toto.toto.fr" | stats count as total

But i don't know how i can do this operation

@serviceinfrastructure,

Try

 index=nginx server_name="toto.toto.fr" NOT http_user_agent="*PRTG*" 
 |stats count(eval(if(status>=400,status,null()))) as c_400,count(eval(if(status<=200,status,null()))) as c_200
 |eval availability=(c_400/c_200)*100

PS: removed status=501 condition from your first search because then you don't need status>=400 condition. Please add this using AND if needed.

@serviceinfrastructure, availability is a complex topics and it purely depends on how you consider (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Availability). But here , if the unavailability is in % (for e.g. 30%) , then yes availability is 100-30=70 %
