Using Heatmaps

Heatmaps are useful for seeing the overall health of your estate or infrastructure at a glance. They are also useful for interpreting numbers visually. There are two types of heatmaps:

• heatmap-enum: This is a categorical heatmap which will assign color values matching text values of the field
• heatmap-numeric: This works on numerical values within a predefined range.

Configure Heatmap

Heatmaps are configured on the Datatypes page. Load the type, and select the field that will have the heatmap applied.

The heatmap syntax:

{ "heatmap-enum:"...."
	,"heatmap-numeric":"..." 
} 

Heatmap Enum

Heatmaps are configured using a json like syntax. The example below contains the colors for typical log levels

{ "heatmap-enum":"
	 INFO:white
	,DEBUG:#95f7c3
	,WARN:#f3da87
	,ERROR:#EAA261
	,FATAL:E03930
}

The color syntax for the heatmap is similar to CSS:

• hex code: #FFAACC
• RGB: RGB(222,122,100)
• RGBA: RGBA(100,100,100,50)

Heatmap Numeric

The numerical heatmap is configured with a range of values. The MIN being the coolest color and numbers approaching the MAX will get the warmest colors

 
{ "heatmap-numeric":"0-100" }
