Hi I have an equation that I have to show that is something as the following: X= (amount of log that fits certain criteria) | the criteria is that the difference of, two timestamps in the logs are smaller than 3 seconds Y = amount of logs that have some flag Z = (100-X)/(Y\*100) I need to show Z the problem is that I don't know how to make any complicated search of finding any A and then dividing it by B. I only know how to find A or B. ---

I don't think you can do this with the Metric visualization. You could do this with the timelion visualization, [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/timelion.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/timelion.html). ---
