Color code single value on other field

mschlager — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 18:34:44 GMT

I would like to color a single value, based on a field value that is not the one displayed in the panel. I was able to do so previously using the classField option; however, since it is deprecated in 6.4 ,I'm not sure how I would do this.

Did you work this out? I'm trying to do exactly the same thing.

You might have already resolved the problem but in case you haven't - I am still using the single panel color coding using range with a minor workaround

      <single>
        <title>Status</title>
        <search>
          <query>my search|eval range=if(Status < 1,"severe", "low") |table range Status </query>
          <earliest>-60m@m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="classField">range</option>
        <option name="field">Status</option>
      </single>

Two things to remember :

The variable name should be range in the eval statement and also mention the same in classField option
The field you want to display as the value can be provided in the field option.

Hope this helps!
