To display a table of results in Grafana, you can follow these steps:
- Open the Grafana web interface and select the dashboard where you want to display the table.
- Click on the "Add Panel" button to add a new panel to the dashboard.
- In the panel editor, click on the "Visualization" tab and select "Table" as the visualization type. This will allow you to display tabular data.
- In the "Queries" tab, configure the queries that retrieve the data you want to display in the table. You can use various data sources like Prometheus, InfluxDB, etc.
- Customize the query settings such as the query language, time range, and other query-specific options.
- In the "Data" tab, you can define how the table should display the retrieved data. You can specify the columns, their names, order, data types, and other formatting options.
- Additionally, you can apply transformations to modify the data or further refine the display. For example, you can sort the table by a specific column, apply filters, or use aggregations.
- Use the "Options" tab to configure general settings for the table visualization, such as sizing, coloring, styling, and additional features like pagination.
- Once you have configured the panel to your satisfaction, click on "Apply" or "Save" to save the changes and view the table on the dashboard.
By following these steps, you can easily display a table of results in Grafana and visualize your data in a tabular format.
What is the purpose of thresholds in Grafana?
The purpose of thresholds in Grafana is to set predefined ranges or limits for specific metrics or data points. These thresholds help users visualize and identify when a metric surpasses or falls below a certain value. By setting up thresholds in Grafana, users can create alerts or notifications to be triggered when a metric breaches these defined limits. This allows users to proactively monitor and respond to any abnormal behavior or critical situations in their systems or applications.
What is the query editor in Grafana used for?
The query editor in Grafana is used for creating and editing queries to retrieve data from a data source. It allows users to define the data they want to retrieve, filter it, aggregate it, and apply various transformations or calculations. The query editor provides a user-friendly interface where users can select the desired metrics, time ranges, and any additional parameters to create custom queries and visualize the data in a dashboard.

- Select the table panel where you want to add the additional data fields.
- In the panel options, navigate to the "Data" tab.
- Scroll down to the "Field overrides" section.
- Click on the "+ Add field" button to add a new field.

- Exit the edit mode by clicking on the "Save dashboard" button on the top right corner.
After following these steps, the additional data fields should be added to the table panel in Grafana. You can customize the display of these fields and arrange them as desired.
How to apply thresholds to data in a table panel in Grafana?
To apply thresholds to data in a table panel in Grafana, you can follow these steps:
- Create a new panel or edit an existing panel, and select the Table visualization option.
- In the Metrics tab, ensure that you have specified the necessary data source and query to retrieve the desired data for the table.
- In the Options tab, scroll down to the Thresholds section.
- Enable the option "Color background" to apply colors to the cells based on the defined thresholds.
- Define your thresholds by adding rows to the table: a. Click on the "+" button to add a new row. b. Specify the condition that you want to create a threshold for, such as a certain field equals a specific value, or the value of a field is within a range. c. Choose the color you want to associate with this threshold. d. You can add multiple thresholds by clicking on the "+" button again.
- You can also add a default threshold to handle any values that do not match the defined thresholds. This can be useful to set a default background color for cells that don't meet any specific condition.
- Save the changes to the panel and view the table. The cells will now be colored based on the thresholds you defined.
Note: Thresholds will only be applied to columns that contain numerical values.
