How to apply header color based on the header value on the table?

[DataOrg]

I have 10 columns and want to color header alone with different color codes based on value of the header since column will be filtered and sorted will not remain in the same position we cant map color based on the position of the header

You can use CSS. You have to define CSS on the basis of the value of the header.

th[data-sort-key='<<HEADER_VALUE>>'] {
    <<HEADER_VALUE_BASED_CSS>>
    }

Check below example.

mydashboard.xml

<dashboard stylesheet="test.css">
  <label>Color Table Headers</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <title>Test</title>
        <search>
          <query>index=_internal | stats count by host,sourcetype, source</query>
          <earliest>-60m@m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

test.css

th[data-sort-key='source'] {
background-color: aqua!important;
}


th[data-sort-key='host'] {
background-color: antiquewhite !important;
}

th[data-sort-key='sourcetype'] {
background-color: burlywood!important;
}

th[data-sort-key='count'] {
background-color: chartreuse!important;
}

Here, in my table, I have 4 columns (host,sourcetype, source, count). According to the value of headers, I have defined background-color. You can change stylesheet as per your need.

Just try and let me know.

Thanks

I tried using this code (put the .CSS file in apps/appserver/static) but was unable to change color for the values in header for my table.. I have some static headers values and need to change the color for them.. Can anyone help please?
