You can use visualizations such as bar charts, line charts, and stacked area charts to more efficiently identify patterns in your log data. CloudWatch Logs Insights generates visualizations for queries that use the `stats` function and one or more aggregation functions. For more information, see [stats](CWL_QuerySyntax-Stats.md).
