Table visualization

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. InfluxDB 3 Core is the latest stable version.

The Table option displays the results of queries in a tabular view, which is sometimes easier to analyze than graph views of data.

Table example

Select the Table option from the visualization dropdown in the upper left.

Table behavior

The table visualization renders queried data in structured, easy-to-read tables. Columns and rows match those in the query output. If query results contain multiple tables, only one table is shown at a time. Select other output tables in the far left column of the table visualization. Tables are identified by their group key.

Table Controls

To view Table controls, click Customize next to the visualization dropdown.

Formatting
  • Default Sort Field: Select the default sort field. Default is time.

  • Time Format: Select the time format. Options include:

    • YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss ZZ

    • [additional]: Enter name for each additional column.

Table examples

Tables are helpful when displaying many human-readable metrics in a dashboard such as cluster statistics or log messages.

Human-readable cluster metrics

The following example queries the latest reported memory usage from a cluster of servers.

Query the latest memory usage from each host
from(bucket: "example-bucket")
    |> range(start: v.timeRangeStart, stop: v.timeRangeStop)
    |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "mem" and r._field == "used_percent")
    |> group(columns: ["host"])
    |> last()
    |> group()
    |> keep(columns: ["_value", "host"])

New in InfluxDB 3.5

Key enhancements in InfluxDB 3.5 and the InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3.

See the Blog Post

InfluxDB 3.5 is now available for both Core and Enterprise, introducing custom plugin repository support, enhanced operational visibility with queryable CLI parameters and manual node management, stronger security controls, and general performance improvements.

InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3 brings powerful new capabilities including Dashboards (beta) for saving and organizing your favorite queries, and cache querying for instant access to Last Value and Distinct Value caches—making Explorer a more comprehensive workspace for time series monitoring and analysis.

InfluxDB Docker latest tag changing to InfluxDB 3 Core

On November 3, 2025, the latest tag for InfluxDB Docker images will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments.

If using Docker to install and run InfluxDB, the latest tag will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments. For example, if using Docker to run InfluxDB v2, replace the latest version tag with a specific version tag in your Docker pull command–for example:

docker pull influxdb:2
