Step 7 (optional). Displaying events in a dashboard

A QRadar dashboard presents detection results in visual format. For example, a chart displays the ratio of the number of events of different types.

QRadar 7.2.6 Patch 3 or later is required. Using an earlier version can lead to incorrect results.

Adding a chart that displays the detection results of Feed Service in visual format involves three procedures:

  1. Create an event search.
  2. Add a chart to a dashboard.
  3. Adjust the added chart.

    If you select the Capture Time Series Data check box, the chart will display all incoming data received after this check box is selected; the item selected in the Time Range drop-down list will be ignored. If you clear the Capture Time Series Data check box, only the information received during the time range selected in the Time Range drop-down box will be displayed.
