How to compare success/failure by status

I've got data so:

"[clientip]  [host] - [time] [method] [uri_path] [status] [useragent]" ..  
and do the following search:

 

index=web  uri_path="/somepath" status="200" OR status="400"
| rex field=useragent "^(?<app_name>[^/]+)/(?<app_version>[^;]+)?\((?<app_platform>[^;]+); *"
| eval app=app_platform+" "+app_name+" "+app_version

 


I've split up the useragent just fine and verified the output. I want to now compare status  by "app".
So I've added the following:

 

| stats count by app, status

 


Which gives me:

appstatuscount

android app 1.0

2005000

ios app 2.0

4003

android app 1.1

200500

android app 1.0

40012

ios app 2.0

2003000


How can I compare, for a given "app" (combo of platform, name, version) the rate of success where success is when the response = 200 and failure if 400. I understand that I need to take success and divide by success + failure count.. But how do I combine this data? 
Also note that I need to consider that some apps may not have any 400 errors.

Hi @mwolfe ,

don't use sum but count:

index=web  uri_path="/somepath" status="200" OR status="400"
| rex field=useragent "^(?<app_name>[^/]+)/(?<app_version>[^;]+)?\((?<app_platform>[^;]+); *"
| eval app=app_platform+" "+app_name+" "+app_version
| eval success=if(status=200,1,0)
| eval failure=if(status=400,1,0)
| stats 
     count(failure) AS fail_count
     count(success) AS success_count
     BY app
| eval success_rate=round((success_count / (success_count + fail_count))*100,1)
| table app success_rate

otherwise, you could insert the eval in the stats:

index=web  uri_path="/somepath" status="200" OR status="400"
| rex field=useragent "^(?<app_name>[^/]+)/(?<app_version>[^;]+)?\((?<app_platform>[^;]+); *"
| eval app=app_platform+" "+app_name+" "+app_version
| stats 
     count(eval(status=400)) AS fail_count
     count(eval(status=200)) AS success_count
     BY app
| eval success_rate=round((success_count / (success_count + fail_count))*100,1)
| table app success_rate

Ciao.

I think I got it 

| eval success=if(status=200,1,0)
| eval failure=if(status=400,1,0)
| stats sum(failure) as fail_sum, sum(success) as success_sum by app
| eval success_rate=round((success_sum / (success_sum + fail_sum))*100,1)
| table app, success_rate

You can also check out two nice commands - xyseries and untable which can be used to (de)tabularize such data series.
