I am trying to create a dashboard with log scale for the y axis, I see it on the visualization tab fine, but I cannot see it on the dashboard. Is there something I am missing? ---

You can only set the scale per viz, not per dashboard. ---

I am trying to have a log scale for one component in a dashboard not for the whole dashboard ---

Are you saying you have applied it to the visualisation, saved it, then added it to a dashboard but it's not showing log? ---

yes warkolm, on the visualization tab the Y scale appears as log based, but it appears as a linear scale when the same is viewed in a dashboard ---

this is for the visualization tab where the Y axis is in log scale ![log_scale_visualization](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/1/916f978e09ff0406c4e2eeaaa2a71ec8c7a4f0e3.png) but when viewed in the dashboard this is appears, the Y axis is linear ![log_scale_dashboard](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/5/85f90f14d490c2ba923e29b92bdef39cbb987a98.png) ---
