I need to show a metric based on a ratio of other two metrics.
Is there any way?

It depends on the exact metrics you want to display. I've written a post about showing ratios in Kibana, let me know if this helps understand what the various options are: [https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-display-data-as-a-percentage-in-kibana-visualizations](https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-display-data-as-a-percentage-in-kibana-visualizations)

Yes, that responds what I'm looking for. I have the elasticsearch 7.1, so I have to update to have this functionality.
