Hi,  
what is the best way to calculate a percentage metric in Kibana, as a ratio of two other metrics?

thanks!  
Paolo

I believe what you're looking to do can be done with the Time Series Visual Builder - Stacey wrote about it here: [Counting occurrence of two events and then displaying the percentage](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/counting-occurrence-of-two-events-and-then-displaying-the-percentage/96040/2)

Thank you @tylersmalley, this is very helpful!

Is it also possible to get ratios of metrics after applying different filterings to them?

e.g. 1: I would like to get the ratio between a count metric after applying a specific filter and a count metric without any filter applied?

e.g. 2: I would also like to get the ratio between the sum of the values of a given field and a filtered count of all samples (the count of all samples for which a given condition holds)

thanks!
