Event List + Count tile

On the Event List + Count tile, you can view key information about events reported against entities in the dashboard’s scope during the current time range. You can configure this information to display in a donut chart, a table, or both. For example, you can view severity levels of events in a donut chart.

  • The donut chart shows the total event count and the groups that comprise that count. You can group events by a selected indicator, such as the severity level of events reported against entities in the dashboard's scope during the current time range.

  • The table lists the events in the order you specify when configuring the tile. You can also select the arrow in the Actions column to navigate to the Events console to view the associated event in more detail.

Example tile

Configuring the tile

You can set the following options to determine how your tile appears in the dashboard.

Tile title
Enter the text that you want to use as the title of this tile. The title appears in the upper-left corner of the tile.
Raw events

This setting determines whether the tile displays the total count of event instances (the raw count) or the deduplicated count of events. To show the raw events count, click the setting to turn on. By default, the setting is turned off so the deduplicated count of events shows.

Group counts by
Select the event to use for grouping event counts in the donut chart. For example, select Severity to group the events by severity levels such as Warning, Critical, and Error.
Show
Select the view for the tile. You can select Donut, Table, or both. By default, both views are selected.
Adjust columns
Select the event fields to include as columns in the table. For example, you may want to select Status, Severity, and Last seen as columns in the table.
Sort list by
Select the column that determines the order of the items in the table. For example, you can select to sort by Severity.
Rows to display
Select the number of rows to include in the table. If the tile is too small, the number of rows is truncated. You can resize the tile to show more rows.
