Cannot divide multiple context values in Elasticsearch watcher

Question

I have created a watch in Elasticsearch to alert me if the ratio of http errors is greater than 15% of total requests over 60 minutes. I am using chain inputs to generate the dividend and divisor values for my ratio calculation.

In my condition I am using scripting to do the division and check if it is greater than my ratio.

However, whenever I use 2 ctx parameters to do the division, it always equals to zero.

If I play with it and only use one of ctx param, then it works fine.

It seems that we cannot use 2 ctx params in a condition.

Does anyone know how to get around this?

Below is my watch.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The issue comes in fact from the fact that I was doing an integer division to get to a ratio in the form of 0.xx. I reversed the operation and it is working fine.
