Getting Started with Widgets
Widgets are the core building blocks of dashboards in OpenLIT. Each widget connects to a ClickHouse query, allowing you to visualize data in different formats—from charts to tables, counters, and text. You can configure styling, bind parameters (like time ranges or filters), and arrange widgets freely in your dashboard layout. Widgets can be:
- Visual (e.g., charts)
- Informational (e.g., stats, markdown)
- Data-centric (e.g., tables)
Here are the list of supported widgets :
Area Chart Widget
Visualize trends over time with smooth, layered charts. Great for metrics like usage, traffic, or revenue that change over time.
Bar Chart Widget
Compare categories or segments side-by-side. Ideal for showing grouped metrics like errors by type or revenue by plan.
Line Chart Widget
Plot time-series data with precision. Perfect for tracking latency, load, or other performance metrics over time.
Markdown Widget
Add notes, context, or section headers using Markdown. Great for annotating dashboards or linking to documentation.
Pie Chart Widget
Show proportions and segment distribution clearly. Useful for visualizing things like user roles, traffic sources, or error categories.
Stat Widget
Highlight key metrics like active users, revenue, or conversion rate. A fast and simple way to display KPIs.
Table Widget
Display structured data in a paginated, sortable table. Perfect for audit logs, event tracking, or error views.
