For a quick glance at common charts and common chart use case commands, you can view the Splunk Dashboards Quick Reference guide by clicking the link in Getting started.
Select a chart
You can select a chart depending on the number of data dimensions that you want to visualize. For example, use a pie chart to show how values combine in a single field. A bubble chart can show relationships between multiple fields in a data set.
Chart type | Description |
---|---|
Pie | Shows a single dimension. Pie slice size represents the density or frequency of values in a field. |
Column and bar
|
Represent one or more dimensions in a results set. These charts plot data on two axes. Each axis represents a results field. Column and bar charts can compare values and fields. |
Line and area | Line charts can show value changes over time. Area charts show changes in an aggregated value over time. |
Scatter and bubble | Represent multiple dimensions in a results set. These charts plot data on two axes. Data point appearance, size, and/or distribution show additional patterns or relationships. |
