You create a widget when you want to save a search query and visualize its results in a dashboard for ongoing monitoring.
To create a new widget from a search, follow these steps.
Go to the tab in the main LogScale User Interface and pick a repository.
Click the tab from the top menu bar.
Enter a query of your choice, one that would best suit your data.
Click the Time Selector on top to choose the time interval (for example, ). The active search interval used is saved along with the widget. For details on the timeframe you can set, see Change Time Interval.
Choose the preferred or compatible chart using the Widget selector dropdown — one chart type is selected by default, for example depending on the query you have entered, see Widgets Gallery for all the available widgets.
Click — you should now see the graph or table in the main pane; if not, check again the time interval you have selected, as it should be consistent with your data set.
Click the menu at the top right of the graph pane and select the option.
