Question, why does the legend for the graphs show this (Microsoft - Active Directory Security - Overview)?
As this is a legend strictly for number of events, shouldn't it go: 1,10,100,1,000,1,000,000,1,000,000,000(ten, hundred, thousand, hundred-thousand, million, billion, trillion)? It seems like it is showing file size as the number of events(kilo, Mega, Giga)!
I see then who ever added the chart to Dashboard probably added it with the Logarithmic axis checked. If you are an admin user then you can do these steps or ask your Loginsight admin to do them for you -
-On the dashboard that displays the chart, click the button on that chart to show in Interactive Analytics.
-Click the chart type button to uncheck the logarithmic axis checkbox
-Click the button for 'Add current query to Dashboard' right below the chart type button.
-Re-add the chart to the same dashboard your chart was on.
-Go to the Dashboard again and then delete the old chart showing the logarithmic values on y-axis.
Hope this helps.
Interesting indeed... tracking it down and will let you know. Thanks for reporting!
You seem to have logarithmic axis selected
Yogita Patil[8:28 AM]If you uncheck the check box for Logarithmic axis under Chart type (The button on the bottom right of the Interactive Analytics chart) the numbers on y-xis will make sense, I think.
If you view it within interactive analysis, it is displayed properly by default:
This is only showing when viewed in the dashboard, and other dashboards are not doing this

It does help, and I was the one that added it to the Log Insight installation, it never gave an option for logarithmic vales
Maybe it should be, by default, a non logarithmic scale 😉
Glad it helped. The option should not be selected by default, but let me look into it a bit more and I will follow up with development on this. Thanks for bringing it to our notice.
Sure thing, love the product and trying to replace Splunk in its entirety with LI!
Log axis is off by default, to enable it you have to check the box in the chart options in Interactive Analytics. However, once enabled it stays enabled until you either leave the page or uncheck it again. Also, if you add the chart to the dashboard while log axis is enabled, that chart will always show a log axis on the dashboard.
As far as the numbers on the scale, they may look like file sizes but they're really just the metric prefixes for thousand (k), million (M), billion (G): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix
