Chart types reference
The Dashboard supports 8 visualization types. The types available to you depend on the entity type selected when configuring a block. See the availability matrix at the bottom of this page for a full breakdown.
Metric card
Displays a single count with an optional trend indicator showing the change over the selected time range. Clicking the card navigates to the corresponding detail page with filters pre-applied.
Best for: Headline KPIs such as total events, active browsers, or risky users.
Horizontal bar chart
Grouped counts displayed as horizontal bars. Optionally add a Stack by dimension to break each bar into colored segments representing a secondary field. Click individual bars or segments to navigate with filters applied.
Best for: Categories with long labels or when horizontal space is more readable.
Vertical bar chart
The same data representation as the horizontal bar chart, displayed in vertical orientation. Supports Stack by for stacked segments.
Best for: Comparing counts across categories, such as events by policy or safeguards by type.
Donut chart
A proportional breakdown of data by a grouped field, displayed as a ring chart. Each segment shows its count and percentage on hover. Click a segment to navigate to the detail page filtered to that value.
Best for: Category distributions such as events by severity or browsers by status.
Stacked bar chart
Bars with colored segments broken down by a secondary dimension. Each segment has its own tooltip, legend entry, and click-through navigation. The legend shows the color and label for each segment.
Best for: Multi-dimensional comparisons, such as events by category stacked by severity.
Ranking table
A top-N list displaying items ranked by count. Each row is individually clickable and navigates to the relevant detail page. Applications and Extensions show their logo or icon alongside the name; other entity types show plain text.
Best for: Leaderboards and "top offenders" views, such as most active users or most-triggered patterns.
Area chart
A time-series trend line with gradient fill and smooth spline interpolation. Hover over data points to see tooltips with exact counts for that time bucket. Click a data point to navigate to the detail page filtered to that specific time window.
Best for: Trend analysis over time, such as event volume trends or browser activity patterns.
Area chart is only available for the Events and Browsers entity types.
Bar over time chart
A time-series chart using vertical bars to represent counts per time bucket. Hover over bars to see tooltips with exact counts. Click a bar to navigate to the detail page filtered to that specific time window.
Best for: Spotting volume spikes and comparing discrete time periods, such as daily event counts or weekly browser activity.
Bar over time chart is only available for the Events and Browsers entity types.
Text heading
A section divider with a title and optional subtitle. Text headings are not data visualizations. They are used to organize the layout of your dashboard into labeled sections, and do not count toward the 12-visualization block limit.
