[[most-frequent]] == Most frequently used visualizations The most frequently used visualizations allow you to plot aggregated data from a <> or <>. The most frequently used visualizations include: * Line, area, and bar charts * Pie chart * Data table * Metric, goal, and gauge * Tag cloud [[metric-chart]] [float] === Configure your visualization You configure visualizations using the default editor. Each visualization supports different configurations of the metrics and buckets. For example, a bar chart allows you to add an x-axis: [role="screenshot"] image::images/add-bucket.png["",height=478] A common configuration for the x-axis is to use a {es} {ref}/search-aggregations-bucket-datehistogram-aggregation.html[date histogram] aggregation: [role="screenshot"] image::images/visualize-date-histogram.png[] To see your changes, click *Apply changes* image:images/apply-changes-button.png[] If it's supported by the visualization, you can add more buckets. In this example we have added a {es} {ref}/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html[terms] aggregation on the field `geo.src` to show the top 5 sources of log traffic. [role="screenshot"] image::images/visualize-date-histogram-split-1.png[] The new aggregation is added after the first one, so the result shows the top 5 sources of traffic per 3 hours. If you want to change the aggregation order, you can do so by dragging: [role="screenshot"] image::images/visualize-drag-reorder.png["",width=366] The visualization now shows the top 5 sources of traffic overall, and compares them in 3 hour increments: [role="screenshot"] image::images/visualize-date-histogram-split-2.png[] For more information about how aggregations are used in visualizations, see <>. Each visualization also has its own customization options. Most visualizations allow you to customize the color of a specific series: [role="screenshot"] image::images/color-picker.png[An array of color dots that users can select,height=267]
