Working with line, bar and area charts

Line, Area, and Bar charts allow you to plot your data on the X/Y axis.

Prerequisites

To work with visualizations, make sure to

• Authorized access to the Klink lab
• Select the right tenant

Start with a common scenario: Top 5 cities with the highest weekly temperature over the last 90 days. In this example, we use a public data feed NETATMO

Instructions

Step 1: Open the visualization builder

1. Go to Visualize on the left sidebar menu
2. Click Create visualization
3. Select Bar chart

4. Select Netatmo as the data source

Step 2: Choose Metrics and Buckets for the visualization

Bar, line, or area chart visualizations use metrics for the y-axis and buckets for the x-axis.

• Learn more about Metric and Bucket Aggregations
• For Y-axis, in the Metrics panel 

•  For X-axis, in Buckets panel

• Click the arrow icon to apply change

Note: Drag the icon to change the priority of the bucket aggregations. Learn more about working with aggregation priority.

• Panel setting
  • Legend and Grid

Add more details to your chart with a tooltip, time marker and value of each instance.

• • Threshold line

Set a threshold line to notice unusual trends. You can set a threshold value and format the line with width, style (solid, dash or dot) and colour.

Step 3: Save the visualization

• Click Save on the top right corner.
• Add title and description to the visualization for later use.

Tip: You can easily switch between bar, line and area chart type in the visualization builder.
