Prerequisites: Lab 1 completed · Estimated time: 45 min

A useful, versioned dashboard.

Guided steps, with their solutions.

1. Key metrics
Why? The essential figures are read at the top of the dashboard.
Create a “Web traffic” dashboard with three Metric panels: number of requests, total volume (sum of bytes), unique visitors (unique_count(clientip)).
2. Error rate with a formula
Why? A formula calculates a ratio without a pre-computed field.
Add a line chart of the error rate over time using a formula.
3. Top N and controls
Why? Controls filter the whole dashboard in a single action.
Add a table of the 10 most requested URLs and an “Options list” control on machine.os.keyword.
4. Export
Why? The ndjson file contains the dashboard and its dependencies (data view, visualisations).
Export the dashboard through the API.
5. Import into another space
Why? This is how you promote content from one environment to another.
Create the equipe-web space and import the file into it. Open the dashboard in this new space.
