Hi @Khanu89 

For your pie-chart, in the xml code add the following option configuration.

<option name="charting.chart.showPercent">1</option>


You should be able to see the percentage details against each category in the chart.
Something like below.

It sounds like error is not a field that has been extracted from your events.

Can you share some sample events, assuming you need help extracting the error field?

What fields do you already have extracted?

You don't appear to have a field called error (note that field names are case sensitive).

Assuming that the fields that appear to be in your event, you could try
