Logs source in custom dashboards
When you integrate logs as a source of metrics for widgets, the performance of your system's monitoring and visualization is enhanced in custom dashboards. Logs source supports the Big Number, Chart: Time Series, and Chart: Pie widgets, which allow a diverse range of data representation.

To add a widget, complete the following steps:

- Select one of the following supported widgets:
- Big Number
- Chart: Time Series
- Chart: Pie
- On the widget configuration, in Data Source, select Logs.

- In Filter, select logs relevant to your analysis.
- Optional: To compare with previous data periods, set Add a time shifted comparison badge to on.
- Optional: In the Widget Name field, enter a name of the widget.

You can adjust the Axis Configuration settings such as the chart type, value formatting, and defining minimum and maximum values.
