    logscale
    loglevel = /error/i
| count()

  2. Save your widget as explained at Create Widgets

  3. Click the menu icon on top-right of the widget and select Styling, the Styling panel is displayed on the side of the widget:

    • Colors → adjust the colors for the thresholds you have defined, thus creating a custom palette.
