Widget chart types

IBM® QRadar® Pulse provides many types of charts for presenting your data in a way that is meaningful for your organization.

Bar chart

Compare sets of data between groups; for example, log source ID and event rates. Show significant changes in data over time. Stack each series. Show or hide the legend, and position it horizontally or vertically on the chart. For more information, see Creating a bar chart.

Big number chart

Display important metrics on the SOC wall that you want your team to monitor. Turn on trending to see how your organization is doing over time. For more information, see Creating a big number chart.

Geographic data chart

See where events are occurring on a choropleth (shaded) map or on a scatter map. Set the latitude, longitude, and scale for IP addresses. Display lines between source and destination IP markers.
Restriction: Geographic charts are not supported on QRadar 7.3.0.

For more information, see Creating a geographic chart.

Pie chart

Use to represent numbers in percentages, or to visualize the parts of a relationship or a composition. Display in a doughnut shape. Display a pie slice value as a percentage or a number. Show or hide the legend, and position it horizontally or vertically on the chart. For more information, see Creating a pie chart.

Scatter chart

Use scatter charts to explore correlations between different measures. Scatter charts use data points to plot two measures anywhere along a scale, not only at regular tick marks. For more information, see Creating a scatter chart.

Tabular display chart

Display all columns or only selected ones. Use when you have more than one set of values that have a direct relationship. For more information, see Creating a tabular chart.

Time series chart

Use to show trending or comparisons. Turn on area charts to show data over time. Choose from multiple line shapes or line modes for each value.

Tip: If the data makes the chart look crammed, consider changing the default number of items (1000) to display. For example, if you set the time series to be an hour long with a default of 1000 results, the display might be illegible.
