Pie Chart data labels

theertpr — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 05:36:15 GMT

How do i get to display the data labels within the Pie Chart. In general the data value and percentage is visible only when mouse is hovered over the chart, but i want that to be displayed always. Please help ??

Have the showPercent to "true." The default is false. It will show the label and the percent next to it.

Example:
true

Just change param to option and this works! See: http://answers.splunk.com/answers/123691/display-percentage-on-pie-charts-in-splunk-6

This doesn't display the data label in the pie chart. You still have to mouse over for the label to appear.

I used http://answers.splunk.com/answers/154860/how-to-aggregate-percentage-information-in-pie-chart-labels.html that works like a charm

<option name="charting.chart.showPercent">true</option>

Option mentioned by abiocaldas works. However, if you notice that it will display 2, 3, or more decimal places for percent. An alternate option (without editing the XML file)

... | top 5 location | eval percent=round(percent,0) | eval location=location."(".percent."%)"

This way you can also control how many decimal places (1, 2, none etc) you want to display. In the above, it displays % without any decimal places, which many people prefer.
