Scatter plot

Scatter plots are used to visualize the correlation or distribution between two distinct metrics or logs. Each point in the scatter plot could represent a log entry, with the X and Y axes showing different log attributes (like request time and response size). The scatter plot chart can be created using the simple query builder or advanced query builder.

For example, plot response size against response time for an API to see if larger responses are correlated with slower response times.

Prerequisites

• Create an Axiom account.
• Create a dataset in Axiom where you send your data.
• Send data to your Axiom dataset.
• Create an empty dashboard.

Create a dashboard element

1. Go to the Dashboards tab and open the dashboard to which you want to add the scatter plot.
2. Click Edit dashboard.
3. Click Add element in the top right corner.
4. Click Scatter from the list.
5. Choose one of the following:
   • Click Builder to create your chart using a visual query builder. For more information, see Create chart using visual query builder.
   • Click APL to create your chart using the Axiom Processing Language (APL). Create a chart in the same way you create a chart in the Editor of the Query tab.
6. Optional: Configure the dashboard element.
7. Click Save.

The new element appears in your dashboard. At the bottom, click Save to save your changes to the dashboard.
