I thought it was possible to create a stacked bar chart in the Discover window. Can this be done? If so, how please?

That's not possible as Discover will only show you the totals, you will need to create a visualisation for it.

Thanks for the reply. Is there a way to get the discover log viewer/search and a stacked bar on the same dashboard?

Best way to do that is to build the Discover view to what you want to see, then save it as a Saved Search.

Then you can add that directly into a dashboard 🙂

Can you point me in the right direction to where I can read about how to create a discover view?
