Is there any documentation that can help me in creating a dashboard in NLS? I have prior experience with Kibana. I want to make pie charts and graphs of certain events (failed logins, etc.). I have parsed the documentation on the sight and it does not go into great detail. Does this product even have the functionality to create traditional visualizations found in Kibana4 natively?

Thnx

No. Log Server uses a variant of Kibana3.

However creating a chart can easily be accomplished several ways.

You can simply click on the filed in the table view, select "Terms" and Pie from the dropdown

Then you can add use the + on the ledt to drag it into the row/panel you want..

Additionally you could simply select the "add Panel to the left of the row and select the type of panel you are looking for.

Here's a link to a 5 minute dashboard presentation at the release party

Ok. Thank you. Another issue is I want to make a pie graph of a specific Windows Event (4740). I create the query and successfully make the pie chart. When I remove the query, my pie chart does not hole. How do I add filters to the specific graph to only show the specified event (4740)?

Thnx

I find the best way to do this is to save separate dashboards with the filters in place that you want, and then do your queries from there. That way you can navigate between them easily. If I understand your question correctly, you want the data to stick around in the chart after querying for a specific string. In all of my testing, it goes away once you remove the query. I'll reach out to my coworker that works closer with NLS than I do at this time, but I can't promise a response today.
