Create a Visualization from a Search Query

Quickly turn your queries in the Exabeam Search application into visualizations in new or existing dashboards. The filters in these visualizations are automatically configured to correspond with the same fields, operators, parameters, and timeframes as in your Search queries. You can also easily add an additional field to the visualization from the search results.

Note

By default, visualizations created from Search queries use the count measure. However, in the Dashboards application you can modify this property and others in the same way that you modify other visualizations.

To create a visualization from an Exabeam Search query:

  1. In the Exabeam Search application, build a query and execute a search.

    For more information, see Performing Searches in the Exabeam Search Guide.

  2. When your search results are displayed, select a field and click the Visualize Field option. You can access the Visualize Field option from one of the following locations in your search results:

    • Event List – Click on a field and select Visualize Field.

    • Event Details – Click View all fields for a specific event. A panel opens and displays all the parsed fields. Hover over a field, click the options icon (icon-options.png), and select Visualize Field.

    When you click Visualize Field, the new visualization opens in the edit mode of the Dashboards application.

  3. When the new visualization opens for editing in the Dashboards application, enter a title for the visualization.

  4. Click the Chart tab and then select an appropriate chart type for displaying the data.

  5. Click Save. The new visualization is saved to the visualization library in Draft status. If you want to make the visualization available to other users or add it to a dashboard, navigate to the Visualizations home tab and see the following topics for more information:

    Note

    If you try to save the visualization but another visualization with the same name exists, you are prompted to change the name of the new visualization.

    If you try to save a visualization but another visualization with the same definition exists (including dimensions, measures, filters, and chart type), you are prompted to change the definition of the new visualization or re-use the existing visualization.
