Charts

Visualize your search results, using Charts.

Cribl Search provides Charts to display aggregate search results. Cribl and statistical functions are used together with the summarize, eventstats, and timestats operators to aggregate your data.

When you run an aggregate search, your results display on a Chart. You can select from various Chart types and color palettes, and you can manipulate how your results are plotted.

Save or Reset Chart Settings
​

The Chart tab provides a Save chart settings option (off by default). Enable this if you want to persist your Chart customizations when running later queries on the same page. If the Chart re-renders in unexpected ways (because some custiomizations conflict with new query terms), try turning this back off.

Selecting the Reset link will restore Chart defaults. This includes restoring the default Chart type (Column) and turning off the Save chart settings setting itself.

On Dashboards, visualizations do not provide this Save option. This is to maintain Dashboards’ dynamic nature.
