How to achieve a non numeric scatter plot on x and y?

Hi,

I have two text columns finding_id and device manufacturer, and a count of events containing both.

I'd like a scatter chart of device.manufacturer on the y-axis, and finding_id on the x-axis, but everything seems to revert to a numerical axis?

Am I missing something?

The below is from the stats page:

count   finding_id  device.manufacturer
9       V-3086      Cisco
9       V-3034      Cisco
9       V-14717    Cisco
9       V-14667    Cisco
8       V-5618      Cisco

| streamstats count
| eval device_manufacturer=if(count % 2 = 0 , null(), device_manufacturer)
| foreach * [ eval <<FIELD>> = if(isnull(device_manufacturer),NULL,'<<FIELD>>')]
| fields - test count

I use trick.
try Viz>>Area Chart with Format Null Values=Gap

Just use the chart command.

| chart count by finding_id device.manufacturer 

Flip the order of the by fields if you want them the other way.

Thanks. Unfortunately that didnt work.

My query is now

| chart count by finding_id ,device.manufacturer

Statistics tab now shows the below, but the scatter plot X and Y axis labels are NSA-FLTR-20 and V-14707, and each axis is still numerical

What I'd like is that the Y axis is a list of all devices, the X axis is a list of all findings, and the scatter plot shows counts at the intersection of the two

device.manufacturer NSA-AUTH-025 NSA-FLTR-020 V-14667 V-14707
3COM 1 1 1 1
Brocade 0 5 0 0
Check Point 0 0 3 0
Cisco 4 1 9 8
HP 0 1 1 1
Huawei 3 0 1 1
Juniper 2 2 2 1
Palo Alto 1 2 2 0
WatchGuard 0 0 1 0

But scatter chart is still using
