The Pie Chart Widget in OpenLIT is perfect for showing how values are distributed across categories. Use it to represent proportions such as traffic sources, user roles, or error types.

​
When to use

  • Visualize category breakdowns
  • Show relative proportions of segments (e.g. users by role)
  • Highlight top contributors to a total value
  • Display simple summaries at a glance

How to add a pie chart

Example: 
WITH
	parseDateTimeBestEffort('{{filter.timeLimit.start}}') AS start_time,
	parseDateTimeBestEffort('{{filter.timeLimit.end}}') AS end_time,
	
	SELECT
		DISTINCT ResourceAttributes['service.name'] as applicationName,
		ROUND(SUM(toFloat64OrZero(SpanAttributes['gen_ai.usage.cost'])), 5) AS cost
	FROM otel_traces
	WHERE
		SpanAttributes['gen_ai.operation.name'] != 'vectordb'
		AND notEmpty(SpanAttributes['gen_ai.usage.cost'])
		AND notEmpty(ResourceAttributes['service.name'])
		AND StatusCode IN ('STATUS_CODE_OK', 'STATUS_CODE_UNSET', 'Ok', 'Unset')
		AND Timestamp >= start_time AND Timestamp <= end_time
	GROUP BY applicationName;

​
Configuration options

  • Customize colors
  • Add paths for labels & values
Use dynamic bindings like {{filter.timeLimit.start}}, {{filter.timeLimit.end}} to make your chart respond to dashboard time filters.

Best practices

  • Aggregate less-important categories into an “Other” group in SQL
  • Use percent labels for quick at-a-glance insights
  • Match colors with your product or brand theme for consistency
