Dashboards & Visualizations

Dashboard SingleValue Question (newbie question)

Loscil
Explorer

I'm trying to count the number of disconnects from my server as a sum and get it to display on the dashboard as a single number (eventually I'm going to want to get this single number into the ruby sdk)
I'm running the following query:
source="/home/mc/vanilla2/server.log" disconnect disconnect.quitting | stats count by eventtype

However, when I put this as a single value, it just says "DisconnectEvent" (Which is the name of the eventtype that is the number of disconnects)

Running that query correctly shows a single point on the graph, but I don't know how to extract that value now.
