Hi, all!

I wish to display the event without the fields like "host", "source", and "sourcetype" like the photo below on my dashboard.

But when I save it as a dashboard, it still shows these fields!

Hi @Jennifer,

You have two ways:

  • in the bottom of each event, the selected fields are displayed, if you don't want to display them you have to delesct them in the left side of your form.
  • You could also display them in raw form so you haven't the selected fields.

But think carefully to this because host ans sourcetype are very relevant fields for your analysis.

Ciao.
