Pie chart

This section explains how to create pie chart dashboard elements and add them to your dashboard.

Pie charts can illustrate the distribution of different types of event data. Each slice represents the proportion of a specific value relative to the total. For example, a pie chart can show the breakdown of status codes in HTTP logs. This helps quickly identify the dominant types of status responses and assess the system’s health at a glance.
