Alerting

Can you include a visualization (pie chart) in splunk alert e-mail pdf attachment?

I currently have e-mail alerts set up to send a table of the information in the attached PDF. There was one time it randomly added a graph chart into the PDF and I do not know how but I want to change the visualization to be a pie chart. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

Yes, it's easy. I tested these instructions yesterday.

1) Update your search to use the pie chart visualization. (On the visualization tab, the left dropdown is the viz type)
2) Save the report.
3) Schedule the report, Set the schedule, Click next
4) under include, check "attach pdf"

You're done.
