Horizon Charts

[splunk_zen]

Congrats on this great major release !

Are there any plans to introduce horizon charts(similar to sparklines but not quite the same) (also here) visualization?

There are some cases where the number of series is just to big to fit in a multiline chart without turning it into a train wreck (and splitting them into several charts forces the Dashboard to become bigger and bigger).

It would be quite a welcome addition.

This is not in the product directly, but if you are willing to write some javascript:

This is a good case for our Custom Table Cell Renderers. If you look at Splunk 6.0 Dashboard Examples app there is an example on using the cell renderers.

We use Horizon charts (aka Cubism) in the new Unix app's alerts view. If you click on a fired alert in the view's results table, you can see CPU rendered as a horizon chart.

One of the problems we have found with horizon charts is that people don't get them until they read about them or someone explains how they work.

I'll put together an example and get back to you.

Custom JavaScript ?
How to apply it over another App search ?

I'll point the PM in charge of viz at this. Thanks for the suggestion!
