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)

"tableFormat": {
"align": "> table |pick(alignment)"
"alignment": [
"left"

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
