Percentage on E-mail plugin

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hello,

I would like to receive the variable "mem.used_p" from Topbeat as a percentage (something like 99%), like is showed on Kibana.
However, on the e-mail I receive on decimal format: 0.99

Somebody knows how to convert/fix this?

%{[mem][used_p]}

Thanks in advance.

You can use a ruby filter to transform [mem][used_p] in the desired way and store it in a @metadata field that won't be shipped to outputs but can be referred to in the email output's body option.

body => "... %{[@metadata][mem_used_pct]} ..."

Thank you for your reply.

How can I store the variable "[mem][used_p]" on metadata "%{[@metadata][mem_used_pct]}"?

Use a ruby filter. Something like this might work for Logstash pre-5.0:

ruby {
  code => "
    event['@metadata']['mem_used_pct'] = (event['mem']['used_p'] * 100).to_i
  "
}

Looks like I'm doing wrong.

The beats come from Topbeat. To use the ruby I've created a filter file:

more 0002-topbeat-filter.conf

filter{
if [mem][used_p]{
ruby {
code => "event['@metadata']['mem_used_pct'] = (event['mem']['used_p'] * 100).to_i"
}
}
}

However, the service don't start now.

I'm sorry, I'm really new on that and felling lost to get the variable as a percente :slight_smile:

If the service doesn't start it should tell you why in the logs.
