== Most frequently used visualizations
|
|
|
|
The most frequently used visualizations allow you to plot aggregated data from a <<save-open-search, saved search>> or <<index-patterns, index pattern>>.
|
|
|
|
The most frequently used visualizations include:
|
|
|
|
* Line, area, and bar charts
|
|
* Pie chart
|
|
* Data table
|
|
* Metric, goal, and gauge
|
|
* Tag cloud

=== Supported aggregations
|
|
|
|
The most frequently used visualizations support the following aggregations:
|
|
|
|
* <<visualize-metric-aggregations,Metric>>
|
|
|
|
* <<visualize-parent-pipeline-aggregations,Parent pipeline>>
|
|
|
|
* <<visualize-sibling-pipeline-aggregations,Sibling pipeline>>
|
|
|
|
* <<visualize-bucket-aggregations,Bucket>>
|
|

=== 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 <<supported-aggregations, supported aggregations>>.
|
|
|
|
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]
