Color code single value on other field

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.

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!
