Create Custom Visualizations

You can create custom visualizations by cloning the existing system visualizations or creating a new visualization.

Clone a Visualization

To clone a visualization:

  1. On the left navigation pane, click on . Select Analytics > Visualization.
  2. Select the visualization for which you need to create a clone.
  3. Make the required changes.
  4. Click Save As.
  5. Enter a name for the new Visualization.
  6. Click Save As. The new visualization will be added to the list page.

Create a Visualization

To create a new visualization:

  1. On the left navigation pane, click on . Select Analytics > Visualization.
  2. Click Create Visualization.
  3. In the New Visualization page, select the required Visualization Type.
  4. Select the data source for the visualization.
  5. Enter the required details for the type of visualization selected. Refer to the table below for more details.
  6. Click Save.
  7. In the Save Visualization dialog enter the Title and Description for the visualization and click Save.

Type of Visualization

Description

Metric

Displays a single number for the selected aggregation.

Data table

Displays the raw data of a composed aggregation.

Pie Chart

Display each source’s contribution to a total.

TSVB

Combines an infinite number of aggregations and pipeline aggregations to display complex data in a meaningful way

Line Chart, Area Chart, Horizontal and Vertical Bar charts

Compares different series in X/Y charts.

Heat maps

Shade cells within a matrix.

Markdown widget

Display free-form information or instructions.

Goal and Gauge

Displays a gauge

Coordinate map

Associate the results of an aggregation with geographic locations.

Region map

Thematic maps where a shape’s color intensity corresponds to a metric’s value.

Note:  When creating TSVB visualizations using derivative aggregation, you have the option to utilize the 'ignore' keyword in the unit field. This can be particularly beneficial when working with counter metrics and aiming to display only the difference instead of the rate per time unit in the graphical representation. Due to OpenSearch's limitation, the visualization's maximum search results will be limited to 10,000 entries. It is recommended to use filters for refined search results.
