Prerequisites

Data is collected.

A dashboard is created. For more information, see Create a dashboard.

Limits

The number of charts that can be added to a dashboard is limited. For more information about the upper limit, see Basic resources.

Entry point

You can add a chart on a Logstore page or a dashboard page. The configuration items are the same regardless of the entry point that you use. In the following procedure, a chart is added on a dashboard page.

Dashboard page
If you want to add a chart on a dashboard page, you must select a dashboard, select a chart, and then execute a query statement. For more information about how to access a dashboard page, see Create a dashboard.
