This is my search:

message_data_type=gd*| timechart count by message_data_type limit=10

These are my results:

But I need to create a timechart of the  failed/total events ratio.

How can I do that ?

Is that what you really want to do? What if there are zero failed events - Success/zero is infinity, or Failed/zero is infinity if there are zero Success events?
