Viewing column data

To quickly scroll through the column headings, hold down the Shift key and use the scroll wheel on your mouse.

To adjust the columns to fit the widest cell in the table or to hide a column, right-click the column header.

Single event view

You can view all details for a single event by double-clicking a blank area within the event row. This opens a pop-up displaying the full row data in JSON format. To copy the JSON, click the copy icon next to the first line. This saves time by eliminating the need to scroll through individual cells in the investigation results table.

Chart types

Investigations results can be viewed as a Tree Map, Pie chart, or Graph. A Sankey chart is available for aggregations where the Group By includes two IP fields or when there are two dimensions and a measure. The Sankey chart type appears only when there are 50 or fewer dimensions.
