Creating, editing and deleting a visualization

Creating a visualization

Follow the steps below to create a visualization.

If you prefer, follow the steps on video.

  1. Click the card Visualize. You can also access the Visualize page from the left menu.

  2. Click the + Create visualization button.

  3. Select the visualization type you want to create and, next, the data source. You can choose an index or a saved search.

  4. Once the visualization is created, define the configuration options that appear on the right side of the screen. Each visualization type has different options. The basic ones have the tabs: Data, Metrics & Axes and Panel - while the others have Data and Options tabs.

  5. Click SAVE, define a name for the visualization and confirm by clicking SAVE again.

The image below shows, as an example, the steps to create a vertical bar chart that shows the amount of status code in last year’s responses:
