Can we do an chart overlay for bar chart in a dashboard studio?

[yvassilyeva]

Hi! Can we currently create a bar chart with a chart overlay in a dashboard studio?

[nickdekkersmt]

@mpalarchio is it possible to have spaces in the overlay field?

This is not working:

 "options": {

        "chart.stackMode": "stacked",

         "axisY2.enabled": true,

        "overlayFields": "field 1, field 2, field 3",

        "fieldColors": {

            "field4": "#E7DA78",

            "field5": "#82BACF"

        }

    },

Hi @yvassilyeva! You can use an overlay in a bar chart with the overlayFields option in the source code. Here's an example from our Examples Hub for a field named host8:

{
    "type": "splunk.column",
    "options": {
        "overlayFields": "host8"    
},
    "dataSources": {
        "primary": "ds_search2"
    },
    "title": "Overlay",
    "context": {}
}

@mpalarchio Thank you, that worked! Have you done multiple overlay chart that you can View by Axis - that's the option in classic dashboards?

Got it working.

 "options": {

        "chart.stackMode": "stacked",

         "axisY2.enabled": true,

        "overlayFields": "field1, field2, field3",

        "fieldColors": {

            "field4": "#E7DA78",

            "field5": "#82BACF"

        }

    },
