But from where to find the field that are to be used in the query. I cannot find it anywhere. Only this information is present in "builtin:service.errors.server.rate " metrics :

Hi

there are already quite many examples about this (or at least with event data). You could find those with search "site:splunk.com calculate error rate". You must just modify those to work with metric index if you have stored that data into those.
