### Logserver widget

Logserver widget is worthy of a special mention, because it aggregates data from your Logserver instance and displays it in the form of a dashboard in Energy Monitor. 

After adding the widget the administrator must log into Energy Logserver as he normally would. 

<blockquote style="border-left: 8px solid purple; padding: 15px;"> <b>Note</b>: 

Keep in mind that if the widget is too small for your preference, you can increase it's height using the menu under the  "**Gear**" icon.

Additional Configuration Required:

1. On your LogServer host, under /etc/kibana/kibana.yml

Replace https://192.168.3.166 with IP of your Energy Monitor.

Add the following line:


<blockquote style="border-left: 8px solid purple; padding: 15px;"><strong>login.isSameSite: "None"</strong></blockquote>
<br>

This is neccessary to tell Kibana to allow placing elements from different sites. 


2. Restart Kibana service with 

<blockquote style="border-left: 8px solid purple; padding: 15px;"><strong> systemctl restart Kibana </strong></blockquote>
