At the end of November, we’ll be migrating the Sematext Logs backend from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch

Heatbars – new time series visualization

November 16, 2020

We are excited to introduce Heatbars, sometimes referred to as swim lanes in other data visualization tools. It’s a new way to represent data in time series charts.

You can style any series as a Heatbar, but it’s especially suitable to show events and logs. This image shows a Heatbar of alerts above the rate of network transactions.

Clicking on a Heatbar square opens a flyout with a list of logs or events from that time range.

A chart can have multiple series configured as Heatbars, but it can also only have Heatbars. This chart shows logs grouped by severity.

You would like to give it a try? Learn how to configure Heatbars here.
