Trying to take availability of particular management zones but we cannot explicitly do that,&nbsp;  
so i have this api&nbsp; &nbsp;**builtin:pgi.availability:splitBy(“dt.entity.process\_group\_instance”):sort(value(auto,descending)):limit(2)**&nbsp;  
But this api will fetch all the process groups so, i what to identify those group with a management zone name,&nbsp;  
LIke : list mzname(selecting one mzname) → its process group → availability of the process&nbsp;  
Any suggestions for api’s&nbsp; or **can we do the same with services.**

Hi [@bs43](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/88207) yes, you can do it selecting the MZ filter

or you can filter by MZ in advanced mode:

```markup
builtin:pgi.availability
:filter(in("dt.entity.process_group_instance", entitySelector("type(~"PROCESS_GROUP_INSTANCE~"),mzName(~"YourMZName~")")))
:splitBy("dt.entity.process_group_instance")
:sort(value(auto,descending))
:limit(2)

```

Keep in mind that what we are using in the data explorer are metrics

Hi&nbsp;[@DanielS](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/35788), Got availability status for processes segregated by mznames.  
Thanks.
