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 metric. 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:

    • List View or Timeline View – In an event or detection in either view, click on a field and select Visualize Field.

    • Field Summary – Click to expand the Field Summary list. In the list, expand a category and click on a field to open the field details. Click Visualize Field.

    • Details Panel – Open the Details panel for a specific Event or Detection. In the Parsed Fields list, hover over a field and click the options menu (icon-options.png). Select Visualize Field.

    When you click Visualize Field, the Create a Custom Visualization page opens in the Dashboards application.

  3. In the Create a Custom Visualization page, you can use the Basic authoring mode to manually modify the visualization generated from your search query in the following ways:

    • In the Data panel on the left, modify the Fields selected for visualization or you can select a Metric other than count.

    • In the Filters panel, you can modify (but not remove) any Required Filters. You can also change or add your own Query Filters.

    • In the Appearance panel, you can update the Title of the visualization or modify the Chart Type selection.

    For detailed information about the Basic visualization authoring procedure, see Create a Visualization Using the Basic Method.

  4. If you make modifications in the Basic mode, click Update Preview to regenerate the data and the chart preview on the right side of the page.

  5. When you're satisfied with the custom visualization, click Save Visualization. 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 fields, metrics, filters, and chart type), you are prompted to change the definition of the new visualization or re-use the existing visualization.
