Bar Charts

Bar charts are useful for visually comparing the number of events that have occurred, such as the type of error that occurs the most in your system. To create a Bar chart, use a search query that provides at least a few data points in the Aggregates tab.

For example, you'd use the following query to create a simple Bar chart:

(error OR fail*) AND exception | count by _sourceCategory | sort by _count

which would produce results such as:

  2. Provide a Metric or Log query and press Enter for it to run.

  3. Once the query runs you will need to flip the chart type to Bar.
