Gauge Widget

Gauge chart displays information in the form of a dial. The values of selected columns can be displayed using a needle, as concentric circles, or like a speedometer.

All charts are configured in the same way, but displayed differently depending upon the type of gauge selected.

Use the following information to configure the widget:

Field Description
Fetch data from source
Query

Enter a search query.

  • To start an EQL statement, enter USE.
  • To start an SQL statement, enter SELECT.

You can search based on filter and time Bloks as well. After you enter the search query, the columns from the query are used as field options in the Gauge widget configuration section.

For more information about EQL search syntax, see Event Query Language Reference.

Date & Time You can enter absolute and relative time ranges.

For example, enter -5h as a relative time range to display results for events that occurred in the past 5 hours.

For more information and examples, see Time Range Expressions.
