Creating Visualizations Using Superset

A business analyst can create a wide array of visualizations to gather insights on streaming data. The platform supports over 30+ visualizations the business analyst can create. For visualization examples, see the Gallery of Superset Visualizations.

The general process for creating and viewing visualizations is as follows:

1. Whenever you add new data sources to Druid via a Stream App, perform the Refresh Druid Metadata action on the Superset menu.
2. Using the Superset Stream Insight UI, create one or more "slices". A slice is one business visualization associated with a data source (for example, Druid cube).
3. Using the Dashboard menu, add the slices to your dashboard and organize their layout.

	Note
	When a SAM app streams data to a new cube using the Druid processor, it will take about 30 minutes for the cube to appear in Superset. This is because Superset has to wait for the first segment to be created in Druid. After the cube appears, users can analyze the streaming data immediately as it is streaming in.
