I have a search query which shows records as

Slow-Speed  
High-Speed  
High-Speed  
High-Speed  
High-Speed  
Slow-Speed  
Slow-Speed

I want to create a pie chart Slow-Speed vs High-Speed. How to do this?

I tried this way, I looked into Add Visualization and then selected the saved query  
How do I plot now Slow-Speed vs High-Speed pie chart. I am stuck at this part.

shall I choose split rows , terms , add subbuckets ? I'm confused at this part. I need some help at this part.

Could you please tell what is the correct way to plot the pie chart ?

Hello @volcano —

If im understanding correctly, you want to create a pie chart to compare between `Slow-Speed vs High-Speed`. To accomplish this, you will need to:

1. Go to Visualize
2. Add visualization
3. Select Pie
4. Select `Split Slices` under the Buckets section
5. Select `Terms` under `Aggregations
6. Then under the `Field` section, select the correct field that contains the values of `Slow-Speed` and `High-Speed.
7. Click on the play button

You will now have a Pie chart that shows `Slow-Speed vs High-Speed`. If your Pie chart defaulted to a `Donut` shape, you can change this under options.

Hope this helps!

If the two values are coming in from different fields, I suggest selecting `Filters` under aggregations and specifying each one. So first filter would be `your_field: Slow-Speed` and your next filter would be `your_field: High-Speed`

Let me know if that makes sense!
