Creating Pie Visualizations in Kibana 7.6

Pie visualizations are one of the most popular ways to demonstrate the distribution of some metric over a set of values. Visualizing the proportions of values in relation to the sum of values is an intuitive way of communicating significance. In this hands-on lab, we will use pie chart visualizations to answer questions that seek to understand the significance of values within a data set.
