Dashboards & Visualizations

dashboard table align numeric to the right

I can get a numeric table aligned to the left in the statistics field with the 

| eval count=printf("%-10d",<your_field>) 

However the alignment does not translate to the dashboard.     Any insight on why this does work or if there is another way to align numeric results to the right on a dashboard for aesthetic purposes?

This is the solution that seem to be working .  Edited source code on dash.  (can change left, center, or right)

Numbers are usually aligned to the right, strings are aligned to the left. If the string contains only numbers, it may be aligned in a table panel to the right. To force it to remain as a string (and be aligned to the left), you could append a space to the string.

Thanks for the suggestion to append a space to the string..    I have tried :

| eval new_field = existing_field + " "    

and :

| eval new_field = existing_field + " "

 

both show it adjusted in the statistics page but not on the Dashboard.

Try using Classic SimpleXML dashboards - Studio still has some catching up to do when compared to Classic
