Table panel

The table panel is very flexible, supporting 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

Table visualizations allow you to apply:

Display options

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

Field display options

In the Field tab you can set table specific display options that will affect all columns. In the Override tab you can customize them per column.

Column width
Column alignment
Cell display mode

Column alignment

Choose how Grafana should align cell contents:

Auto (default)
Left
Center
Right

Column width

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

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

Cell display mode

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

Color text - If thresholds are set, then the field text is displayed in the appropriate threshold color.
Color background - If thresholds are set, then 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 - Shows value formatted as code. If a value is an object the JSON view allowing browsing the JSON object will appear on hover

Tips

Display original string value

Grafana can sometime be too aggressive in parsing strings and displaying them as numbers. To make Grafana show the original string create a field override and add a unit property with the string unit.
