⚠️ DEPRECATION

Grafana Boom Table Panel was created during early Grafana days to add some kind of transformations support for the Graphite and other timeseries databases. Given that now grafana have native transformations, I would recommend using Grafana Table Panel + Grafana transformations to achieve the equivalent. Also, it is now the time to archive this repository due to no maintenance.

Thank you community for the support. This plugin will be removed/archived from the grafana plugin catalog. Existing installations should continue to work. If that doesn't work, reach out to community.grafana.com for support. You can also download old binaries from releases page.

Setup

Pattern Guidelines

Pattern are regular expressions / name of the metrics. If there are multiple matching patterns, first match will be considered. To see the matching patterns, enable debug mode in Options panel.

Sample graphite series / Influx / Prometheus metrics

prod.server.my-app-01.sys.cpu.usage
prod.server.my-app-01.sys.mem.usage
prod.server.my-app-01.sys.hdd.c.freespace
prod.server.my-app-01.sys.hdd.d.freespace
prod.server.my-app-02.sys.cpu.usage
prod.server.my-app-02.sys.mem.usage
prod.server.my-app-02.sys.hdd.c.freespace
prod.server.my-app-02.sys.hdd.d.freespace
dev.server.my-app-01.sys.cpu.usage
dev.server.my-app-01.sys.mem.usage
dev.server.my-app-01.sys.hdd.c.freespace
dev.server.my-app-01.sys.hdd.d.freespace
prod.app.sales.usage.requests_per_sec
prod.app.orders.usage.requests_per_sec
alias(carbon.agents.a.cache.queries, 'Carbon A usage')
alias(carbon.agents.b.cache.queries, 'Carbon B usage')

patterns and matching metrics

usage$ --> All the CPU, Memory metrics from prod and dev and also requests_per_sec metrics and also carbon usage
cpu.usage$ --> All the CPU metrics
free --> All the disk freespace metrics
^prod --> All the prod metrics
^dev.*.usage$ --> All the cpu, mem metrics of dev servers
^prod.*.cpu.usage$ --> All the cpu metrics of prod servers
dev.server.my-app-01.sys.cpu.usage --> only dev.server.my-app-01.sys.cpu.usage
 usage$ --> Carbon usage(Note the space before the pattern)
A usage$ --> Only carbon A usage

Row and Column name guidelines

Row and Col names are derived from series name. If n is wrapped by "_", then that will be replaced by n-th column in graphite/influxdb/prometheus metric (separated by delimiter). Refer below examples and screenshots to get more idea. Or use debug mode to try. (n starts from index 0)

Sample graphite series / Influx / Prometheus Metrics

prod.server.my-app-01.sys.cpu.usage

Pattern & Output

_4_                         --> cpu
_4_ _5_                     --> cpu usage
_4_ 2 _5_                   --> cpu 2 usage
_4_ use                     --> cpu use
Production _4_ usage        --> Production cpu usage
Production _4_ $somevar     --> Production cpu value_of_somevar_variable
_series_                    --> prod.server.my-app-01.sys.cpu.usage
_1_ _1_                     --> server server
_4_ __5_                    --> cpu _usage

Note : If you prefer to change the wrapper from "_" to something like "~" or "__", you can do it through the option "Row / Column identification wrapper" in options tab.

Thresholds

Thresholds are numbers separated by comma. There can be multiple thresholds.

Example:

10,20
70,90,95

Time based thresholds

Thresholds can be overridden, based on day and time of the browser.

Multiple time based threshold rules can be set for any given pattern. If multiple rule matches, last rule wins. If no rule matches, default thresholds will be applicable. Example given below.

Following notations should be followed when added time based threshold rule

Name : Can be any representation in string but not more than 60 characters.

From : in HHMM format examples: 0000 2400 1330 1250

To : in HHMM format examples: 0000 2400 1330 1250

On : Days separated by comma. Order doesn't matter. Examples; "Sat,Sun", "Mon,Sun,Tue"

Threshold : Same format as default threshold

Time based thresholds

WARNING: "From" and "To" fields will be compared against timestamp of last data received from server. If the last data point is not available, then browser time will be considered.

TIPS : If your threshold time rage ranges between two day, (example: 2300 of saturday to 0230 of sunday), then split the rule into two each for saturday and sunday.

NOTE : If you specify n number threshold levels in default pattern (ex: 20,30),then time based thresholds should also follow same number of levels.

Background color based on thresholds

Works the same way as single stat panel. Background color is a list of colors separated by pipe symbol. Colors can be named or hexadecimal colors or rgb or rgba. Number of colors should be greater than the number of thresholds.

Example of color patterns:

green|orange|red
darkred|red|orange|red
green|red
green|#797979|rgba(0, 0, 255,0.5)|rgb(0, 0, 255)|red

Example of matching patterns:

1:  thresholds  : 5
    pattern     : green|red        
    value       : 5    output  : red
    value       : 6    output  : red
    value       : 4    output  : green

2:  thresholds  : 70,90
    pattern     : green|orange|red      
    value       : 95    output  : red  
    value       : 85    output  : orange
    value       : 65    output  : green

3:  thresholds  : 70,90
    pattern     : red|orange|green      
    value       : 95    output  : green  
    value       : 85    output  : orange
    value       : 65    output  : red

Background color overrides

Background colors can be overridden for specific values by using the pattern option Enable BG Color overrides for specific value?. Override values should be specified in the BG Color Overrides in the following format. If multiple matches found, first one will win.

0->Red
13->Red|8->Green

Value and colors are separated by ->. Multiple combination of values can be given separated by |.

If background colors based on thresholds also specified along with this, this will be override the threshold based pattern.

Value transformation based on thresholds

Logic is same as background color. But the value to be displayed can be altered here. Display value will be replaced with the value provided. Values are separated by pipe. if the value is wrapped with _, then it will represent the actual value.

_value_ will be replaced by actual value with format and decimals

_value_raw_ will be replaced by actual value without format and decimals

_row_name_ will be replaced by row name. This will be useful when you hide the first column.

_col_name_ will be replaced by col name. This will be useful when you hide the table header.

_n_ will be replaced by nth part of the series using _ delimiter. Same rule as row_name and col_name

The following tokens can be also used in value transform / default value template

_value_min_raw_ - Min value of the series without formatting _value_min_ - Min value of the series with formatting _value_max_raw_- Max value of the series without formatting _value_max_ - Max value of the series with formatting _value_avg_raw_- Average value of the series without formatting _value_avg_ - Average value of the series with formatting _value_current_raw_- Current value of the series without formatting _value_current_ - Current value of the series with formatting _value_total_raw_- Total value of the series without formatting _value_total_ - Total value of the series with formatting

Example transformation patterns :

_value_|_value_|_value_
GOOD|BETTER|BAD
GOOD (_value_)|_value_|_value
Time to party|Ill|RIP
_col_name_ : _value_| _col_name_ : _value_| _col_name_ : _value_
_row_name_ : _value_| _row_name_ : _value_| _row_name_ : _value_
_row_name_ _col_name_ : _value_| _row_name_ _col_name_ : _value_| _row_name_ _col_name_ : _value_

Sample value transformation: (Assume your metrics results, 95 and it is percentage data type)

_value_                 -->     95%
GOOD (_value_)          -->     GOOD (95%)
HOT (_value_ > threshold of 80%)     -->     HOT (95% > threshold of 80%)
Contact help desk        -->     Contact help desk

Transform value overrides

Transform values can be overridden for specific values by using the pattern option Enable value transform overrides?. Override values should be specified in the Value transform Overrides in the following format. If multiple matches found, first one will win.

13->Evil
12->good|37.50->_fa-circle_|99->Oh no...

Value and transform values are separated by ->. Multiple combination of values can be given separated by |.

If transform values based on thresholds also specified along with this, this will be override the threshold based pattern.

Table Cell links

Table cells can be clickable and open links in new tabs.

If the URL contains _row_name_, it will be replaced by row name.

If the URL contains _col_name_, it will be replaced by col name.

Note : If the row_name / col_name contains font awesome keywords like _fa-circle_, they will be ignored.

Example : https://mysite.com/_row_name_/_col_name_/?foo=bar

First Column Links

To enable link for the first column, Specify link URL in options tab.

First row link can have token _row_name_ . Any other tokens will be ignored. If your row name tends to any font awesome icons or images, they will be ignored in the link's _row_name

image

Example : http://google.com?q=_row_name_ will be replaced as http://google.com?q=app_0 if the first column name is app_0

Refer issue #85 for more details

Filter

If your output have more rows and if you require to hide certain rows based on their output value, you can use the filter option to hide those rows. Series will be hidden if any one of the condition match.

Repeater / Multistat Example

You can use the boom table as multi stat panel. Refer the details given in issue #40

Using Font Awesome icons in row /column / metric fields

If your row name / col name / transform metrics contains strings that starts with _fa- and ends with _, then they will be replaced with corresponding font awesome icons grafana supported. Example usage given below.

_fa-arrow-up_ -> UP ARROW icon in default color

_fa-arrow-up,green_ -> UP ARROW icon in green color

_fa-arrow-down,red,5_ -> DOWN ARROW icon in red color repeated 5 times

_fa-apple,,5_ -> APPLE icon in default color repeated 5 times

_fa-square,red,3,gray,10_ -> 3 RED Square icons and then 7 gray square icons ( only from version 1.3.0, fill icons considered )

_fa-square,red,76/10,gray,10_ -> 8 RED Square icons and then 2 gray square icons ( only from version 1.3.0, math expressions are considered )

_fa-square,red,34/10,gray,10_ -> 3 RED Square icons and then 7 gray square icons ( only from version 1.3.0, math expressions are considered )

In summary, the format of the font awesome token should be in the following format

  • this token should be surrounded by one or more empty spaces.
  • this should start with _fa- and ends with _
  • should be comma separated
  • index 0 is fa-iconname where iconname can be any valid font awesome icon
  • index 1 should be color of the icon. If empty default text color / threshold text color will be considered
  • index 2 should be repeat count ( can be simple one level math expression )
  • index 3 should be empty repeat color. If empty default text color / threshold text color will be considered
  • index 4 should be max repeat count ( can be simple one level math expression )
  • index 2 and 4 can have valid math expression like below
    • 15 ---- valid
    • 23+12 ---- valid and will yield 35
    • 24-10 ---- valid and will yield 14
    • 2.4*10 ---- valid and will yield 24
    • 15/3 ---- valid and will yield 5
    • 29/4 ---- valid and will yield 7
    • 97/10 ---- valid and will yield 10
    • 23max12 ---- valid and will yield 23
    • 23min12 ---- valid and will yield 12
    • 3.36max2 ---- valid and will yield 3

Example implementations of icons in metrics: (Unlimited possibilities like heat map)

  • Battery level indicator
    • Thresholds : 10,75
    • Transform Values : _fa-battery-empty,red_ _value_|_fa-battery-quarter,yellow_ _value_|_fa-battery-full,green_ _value_
  • Bar chart indicator
    • Thresholds : 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90
    • Transform Values : _fa-square,green,1_ _fa-square,gray,9_|_fa-square,green,2_ _fa-square,gray,8_|_fa-square,green,3_ _fa-square,gray,7_|_fa-square,green,4_ _fa-square,gray,6_|_fa-square,yellow,5_ _fa-square,gray,5_|_fa-square,yellow,6_ _fa-square,gray,4_|_fa-square,yellow,7_ _fa-square,gray,3_|_fa-square,red,8_ _fa-square,gray,2_|_fa-square,red,9_ _fa-square,gray,1_|_fa-square,red,10_ _fa-square,gray,0_
  • Payment Gateway Status Indicator
    • Similar threshold setup. (Note : In the example shown in the above picture each series represented by their own patterns.)
    • Hide first column and headers
  • Heatmap
    • Similar threshold setup
    • First column and headers are hidden

Using images as transform values

If your row name / col name / transform metrics contains strings that starts with _img- and ends with _, then they will be replaced with images. Example usage given below.

_img-https://example.com/happy.gif_ -> happy.gif with 20px width, 20px height

_img-https://example.com/happy.gif,30px_ -> happy.gif with 30px width, 20px height

_img-https://example.com/happy.gif,30px,40px_ -> happy.gif with 30px width, 40px height

_img-https://example.com/happy.gif,30px,40px,3_ -> happy.gif with 30px width, 40px height repeated 3 times

Note : When using images from other domains, please take care of CORS policy, legal and copyright polices.
