A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
An analyst compares two metrics by combining them into a third plot. What does Splunk document entering in plot C?
Correct.
Checked against help.splunk.com, August 2026Concept
A plot that is a formula over other plots is how ratios and rates of change are built. The inputs stay visible, which is what makes the result checkable.
Why B
Splunk documents entering a formula such as A/(A+B) in plot C and adding a scale function to express the ratio as a percentage.
