Kibana 4 , making pie chart , error message

Question

I was trying to create a pie chart in Kibana 4 dashboard. And I was trying for a split slice one. But when I select the field type,I get the following error: "Pie chart response converter:Splitting charts without splitting sliced is not supported.Pretend that we are just splitting slices". Why is this error?.

This is the screenshot of the above error. I have marked it with a yellow rectangle and numbered it as 1. ! http://i.imgur.com/olZJnCh.png?1

Answer 1

If you want to do a "split slice " operation on a pie chart,first you need to create a pie chart with slices.Here from what I understand,you tried to give the option "split chart" first,which actually is to make differrent pie charts,in the same row or column,which needs more than one pie-chart. This also requires pie-charts (with slices) to be created first. So you need to create pie-charts and then only you can use "split chart". i In the figures below,the first one shows an ordinary pie-chart created by "split-slice" and the second one shows five pie charts stacked horizontally using the "split chart" method.

I think this is because you chose "Split Chart" and what you want to do is "Split Slice". So, just choose "Splice Slice" and everything should work fine.
