Legend Configuration for Widgets

Overview

A widget legend is essential for creating clear and understandable visual data representations, enhancing the usability and effectiveness of the entire dashboard. Use your widget legends to:

  • Clarify data representation

  • Enhance data understanding and usability

  • Help users understand how to read and interact with the dashboard effectively

This document explains how to customize legends for all types of widgets supported by Coralogix, and apply additional actions to enhance the data exploration capabilities.

Legend settings

Configure legends to appear at the bottom or on the side of your widget, choose to show or hide a widget legend and define its columns.

  1. Click on the ellipsis (…) at the top right corner of your dashboard and select Legend Settings.

  2. Select legend location (Side, Bottom), and define whether you want it to appear (Show) or stay hidden (Hide). Alternatively, set it to Auto to allow the UI to automatically determine the best legend placement. For smaller displays, the legend will appear at the bottom of the widget, while it will be positioned to the side for larger screens..

  3. For side legends, you can define which value columns to display (Min, Max, Sum, Avg or Last).

Hide/show data series

In complex charts or graphs with multiple data series, you can remove unnecessary entries to achieve a cleaner and more focused dashboard.

  1. In your widget legend, select a data series to display it or unselect it to hide. When hidden, the data series is removed from the view, but not from the underlying data.

  2. Choose Select all to display all series or unselect it to hide all of them.

Advanced data series actions

  1. Hover over a data series and click the ellipsis (…).

  2. In the context menu, the following actions are available:

    • Filter out - Exclude data series from the query. This action is applied to all widgets related to the same data source.

    • Filter in - Include data series into query. This action is applied to all widgets related to the same data source.

    • Open Explore - Create a log or span query on the Explore page, based on the widget conditions, such as timeframe, query, and filters. This option is relevant for widgets that use logs or spans as their data sources.

    • Create alert - Create an alert based on data series, where applicable

    • Copy name - Copy data series name
