Viewing Charts

After you load a dashboard, you can view the charts in that dashboard.

Elements in a Chart #

Each chart includes the following elements:

1. The Chart Title for the chart. The data in the chart is defined by the query and the Summary for the chart.

2. Clone. Allows you to copy the chart to an existing dashboard. For details, see Copying a Chart.

3. View Query Results. Displays a table populated with the results of the query for the chart. You can also click through to view additional details about the data for each chart. For details, see Viewing Query Results.

4. Settings. Displays the Add Chart/Edit Chart dialog, where you can edit the chart type, type of data, time range, query, Chart Title, Subtitle, and chart-specific settings (for example, axis titles) for the chart. This option appears only for dashboards that you have created or have admin privileges for. For details about creating a chart, see Creating a Chart.

5. Delete. Removes the chart from the current dashboard. This option appears only for dashboards that you have created or have admin privileges for. For details on deleting a chart, see Deleting a Chart.

Drilling Down #

You can drill down into a chart and view more details about the data. Clicking on an element in a chart displays the Query Results page, but filtered for the selected element.

For example, suppose a dashboard includes this bar graph:

If we edit the bar graph, we see the following:

The bar graph above includes the following:

• Query is for entity type User 

• Query is for the Current time range. By default, this means the present day through 7 days old.

• Filter is:

  • Department Exists

  • This tells Lucidum to search all user records that include a value in the Department field.

• Category is:

  • Lucidum User Name

  •  For bar charts, Category is the value in the y-axis. In this example, Category tells Lucidum to create a graph where number of assets are displayed on the y-axis.

• Series is:
  • Department
  • For bar charts, Series is the attribute that you want to display on the x-axis. In this example, Series tells Lucidum to create a graph where assets are sorted by department.

If we leave edit mode and click on the bar for Product , we see the Query Results page:

Notice that the Query Results page displays the results from a new filter:

• Department exists AND Department == Product

• The Query Results page displays details about all users in the Product department

For details on the Query Results page, see the section in the Building Queries chapter.

In the Query Results page, if you click the > at the far right of a row, the Viewing Details page appears for the selected user or asset.

For details on the Viewing Details page, see the chapter on Viewing Details About Individual Assets, Users, or Vulnerabilities.
