Table panel - Amazon Managed Grafana

Table panel

This documentation topic is designed for Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 8.x.

For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 10.x, see Working in Grafana version 10.

For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 9.x, see Working in Grafana version 9.

The table panel supports multiple modes for time series and for tables, annotation, and raw JSON data. This panel also provides date formatting, value formatting, and coloring options.

Data and field options

With table visualizations you can apply the following options:

Display options

  • Show header – Show or hide column names imported from your data source.

  • Sort ascending/descending – Choose a column title to change the sort order from the default to descending to ascending. Each time you choose, the sort order changes to the next option in the cycle. You can sort by only one column at a time.

  • Table field options – Change field options such as column width, alignment, and cell display mode.

  • Filter table columns – Temporarily change how column data is displayed. For example, you can order values from highest to lowest or hide specific values.

Annotation support

Annotations are not currently supported in the new table panel.

Table field options

This section explains all available table field options. The options are listed in the same order as in Amazon Managed Grafana. Options listed in this topic apply only to table panel visualizations.

Most field options will not affect the visualization until you choose outside of the field option box that you are editing or press Enter.

For more information about applying these options, see Configure all fields and Configure specific fields.

Column alignment

Choose how Amazon Managed Grafana should align cell contents:

  • Auto (default)

  • Left

  • Center

  • Right

Column width

By default, Amazon Managed Grafana automatically calculates the column width based on the cell contents. In this field option, you can override the setting and define the width for all columns in pixels.

For example, if you enter 100 in the field, all the columns will be set to 100 pixels wide when you choose outside the field.

Cell display mode

By default, Amazon Managed Grafana automatically chooses display settings. You can override the settings by choosing one of the following options to change all fields.

Note

If you set these in the Field tab, the display modes apply to all fields, including the time field. Many options work best if you set them in the Override tab.

Color text

If thresholds are set, the field text is displayed in the appropriate threshold color.

Color background

If thresholds are set, the field background is displayed in the appropriate threshold color.

Gradient gauge

The threshold levels define a gradient.

LCD gauge

The gauge is split up in small cells that are lit or unlit.

JSON view

The value is shown formatted as code. If a value is an object, the JSON view that enables you to browse the JSON object appears when you pause on the value.

Column filter

Filter table columns

If you turn on the Column filter in table options, you can filter table options. For more information, see Table field options.

Turn on column filtering

  1. In Amazon Managed Grafana, choose the dashboard that shows the table with the columns that you want to filter.

  2. On the table panel that you want to filter, Opening the panel editor.

  3. Choose the Field tab.

  4. In Table options, turn on the Column filter option.

A filter icon appears next to each column title.

Filter column values

To filter column values, choose the filter (funnel) icon next to a column title. The Grafana workspace displays the filter options for that column.

Select the check boxes next to the values that you want to display. Enter text in the search field at the top to show those values in the display so that you can select them rather than scroll to find them.

Clear column filters

Columns with filters applied have a blue funnel displayed next to the title.

To remove the filter, choose the blue funnel icon, and then choose Clear filter.
