NQL as()

The as() function allows you to display the output from NQL queries in a formatted manner by assigning specific formatting information to the metrics. The Nexthink interface displays the data with the unit specified.​ The as() function is supported in the list and sort clauses.

Example:

devices
| summarize total_cost = count() * 2000
| list total_cost.as(format = currency, code  = USD)

Use the following formatting options:

Formatter	Unit	Example query
energy	Wh kWh MWh GWh	device_performance.events during past 1d | where device.operating_system.platform = macos | where hardware.type == laptop | summarize estimated_energy = ((8 * 0.070) * device.count()) | list estimated_energy.as( format = energy )
weight	g kg t kt	device_performance.events during past 1d | where device.operating_system.platform = macos | where hardware.type == laptop | summarize estimated_energy = ((8 * 0.070) * device.count()) | list estimated_energy.as( format = energy )
currency	Specify the currency using the additional code parameter. CAD: CA$ CHF: CHF GBP: £ EUR: € USD: $	devices | summarize total_cost = count() * 2000 | list total_cost.as(format = currency, code = USD) devices | summarize total_cost = count() * 2000 | list total_cost.as(format = currency, code = EUR)
percent	%	devices | with execution.crashes | summarize impacted_devices = countif(operating_system.name == "Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (66 bits)")*100/count() | list impacted_devices.as(format = percent)
bitrate	bps Kbps Mbps Gbps	connectivity.events during past 30d | where primary_physical_adapter.type == wifi | where wifi.signal_strength.avg <= -67 or (context.device_platform == "macOD" and wifi.noise_level.avg >= -80) | summarize average_receive_rate = wifi.receive_rate.avg() | list average_receive_rate.as(format = bitrate)
