Is there any way to convert "kubernetes.container.memory.usage" from nanocore to percentage? or any term little bigger than nanocore?

 ![51%20AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/2/82c19e90ed44c0fd8d55b30b5691f6af2a153e6e.jpg)

Need to convert this from nanocore to percentage?

Thanks,  
Kanthi.

Hi @kanthimathi,

I understand you are talking about cpu (not memory), isn't it? In that case, what percentage are you interested on, % of the node CPU, % the limit for that Pod or something else?

Best regards

@exekias sorry, My bad. I was talking about kubernetes.container.CPU.limit.nanocores, Kubernetes.container.cpu.request.nanocore and kubernetes.container.cpu.usage.nanocore. Is there any way to convert it to percentage? or any terms higher than nanocore?

You can use bucket script aggregation to calculate the % from `kubernetes.container.cpu.usage.nanocore` / `kubernetes.container.cpu.limit.nanocores`.

I'm currently working on calculating this metric from Metricbeat, to make graphing easier for this case.

@exekias Can you please tell what is wrong with this? I tried the aggregation filter with both sum and max. But getting an output

`The request for this panel failed. series_arithmetic script for reducer [9530aef0-0213-11e8-b222-4d1e40745993] must return a Number`

I tried using gauge.
