Widgets

Widgets are added to Screens to display log metrics.

There are four different widget types:

• Count - Displays a single aggregate number.
• Gauge - Displays a count out of a minimum and maximum value using a gauge indicator.
• Table - Displays a horizontal bar chart with logs grouped by a selectable field.
• Time Shifted Graph - Displays a layered line graph comparing values over two different periods. For example, log volume today vs. log volume yesterday.
