Configure Custom Widgets
To configure custom widgets for your analytics searches:
- From the Analytics Search page, click Add > Drag and DropSearch. Select the Visualization tab.
- Click Add Widget > Custom Widget Builder.
- To add a field to a widget, drag the field from the Fields panel on the left to the Y-axis or X-axis on the right. The available fields are based on the fields returned by the search.
- From the Chart Types panel on the right, click the widget type to use for the display. The widget is previewed in the main panel. You can experiment previewing which widget type is best for visualizing a particular data set.
- Usage for the X and Y axes depends on the chart type. The UI prevents you from adding more fields than the widget supports. Different widgets have different limits for the maximum number of fields permitted on each axis.
- For the time series widgets (area, line, scatter, and histogram), you can use the Resolution field that appears on the X-axis to customize the frequency displayed if you do not want the widget to automatically select a default resolution based on the current time range. This time resolution field is not counted toward the field limit. The granularity of resolutions that can be chosen depends on the Global time range.
