NXLog Platform provides a choice of controls, tools, and charts to use when building custom Dashboards. This page lists the available widgets and a description of each.

Controls

Quick search and filter

Search and filter

Add full search and filtering capability, including options to load existing and create new saved searches and filters. You can only add this control once per dashboard.

Visualization

Pie chart

Add a pie chart showing percentages for a specific log field.

The fields available depend on your log data but also include core and standard fields.

Sunburst

Add an interactive sunburst chart showing aggregated log data on two hierarchical levels. The inner nodes are an aggregation of the parent field, and the outer nodes are an aggregation of the second-level field.

You can choose the parent and child fields to plot and the value limit. The fields available depend on your log data but also include core and standard fields.

Timeline

Display data over time with a timeline chart. The available metrics are:

Distinct values
