How to write search to find error percentage for each group?

kimberlytrayson
Path Finder

My data looks as follows:

host col2 
---- ----
A SUCCESS
A ERROR
B ERROR
B SUCCESS
B SUCCESS
C ERROR

Here is the desired output:

host Total_rows_for_this_host Errors_for_this_host ErrorPercentage
---- ------------------------ -------------------- --------------
A 2 1 50
B 3 1 33
C 1 1 100

For every host, we need to find the error percentage.

What query could I use? Thank you.

Hi @kimberlytrayson,

you have to use the stats command, something like this:

<your_search>
| stats count AS Total_rows_for_this_host count(eval(col2="ERROR")) AS Errors_for_this_host BY host
| eval ErrorPercentage=round(Errors_for_this_host/Total_rows_for_this_host*100,2)

Ciao,

Giuseppe
