Splunk Search

Percent matching events

c799651
Explorer

I have a search that find a  match of events

this counts all events that match the string

index=data-kia-cer-app-n sourcetype=cer | regex "BLOCK,\d*,\d*,1"| stats count as "default"

 

I would like a search that results in a percent figure of this match as proportion of all events.

 

Thanks

Hi,

This adds a column "total" and "percentage" to the table:

index=data-kia-cer-app-n sourcetype=cer 
| eventstats count as total 
| regex "BLOCK,\d*,\d*,1"
| stats count as "default" by total 
| eval percentage=(default*100)/total


You might want to remove some decimals and add a "%" to the percentage field..
