Percentage calculation between two filters

Hello,

I wanted to submit an idea for a feature as i came across different usecases that could be fulfilled with instana's data.

The idea would be to be able to calculate a percentage between two filters and be able to :
- display it on a dashboard (as big numbers as well as time series charts )
- configure alerts based on this metric

For instance here are some usecases that could be useful :
Applications :
- % of Status 4XX to monitor functional errors
- conversion rates between two endpoints
- % of apparition of a specific log message

Website/Mobile App Monitoring :
- conversion rates between two pages or views. The applications could be endless using the filters (for example analysing the impact of effectiveConnectionType on conversions between cart and finalizations)

- % of Sessions per users : that could be useful to detect abnormal loss of sessions that could explain mobile app crashes, infrastructure problems ...

- % of a specific CustomEvent per views or sessions. For example we log front-end app errors like parsing errors on customEvents on our native mobile apps but we can't have an error rate based on these errors as there is no Http requests

- % of a JSerror

There may be more usecases but anyway if this kind of functionality is possible it could bring a lot of flexibility to analyze problems in production.

I'm avaiblable to discuss this further if needed.

Best regards

Clarisse

    Hello,

    The functionality is OK for the smart Alert part.
    On some alerts configured with % 4xx errors.
    Do you know when we can do the same for custom dashboards?

    Best regards,
    Steve

    We would like to follow up and discuss this in a session with you.
    Please send me your availability @ edwin.tom.onattu@ibm.com or through Thomas Vien.

    We are already planning to work on binary operations between metrics, so your perspective will help us in shaping the right outcome.

    Hello Clarisse, I like this idea, we have this need in our company as well.

    I created a similar idea like this focusing on just the new big number widget part: https://automation-management.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/INSTANAC-I-21
