Pie charts can illustrate the distribution of different types of event data. Each slice represents the proportion of a specific value relative to the total. For example, a pie chart can show the breakdown of status codes in HTTP logs. This helps quickly identify the dominant types of status responses and assess the system’s health at a glance.
