# Single Stat visualization

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. [InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/core/) is the latest stable version.

#### API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — **capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade**.

For more information, see [Token hashing](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#token-hashing).

The **Single Stat** view displays the most recent value of the specified time series as a numerical value.

Select the **Single Stat** option from the visualization dropdown in the upper left.

## Single Stat behavior

The Single Stat visualization displays a single numeric data point. It uses the latest point in the first table (or series) returned by the query.

#### Queries should return one table

Flux does not guarantee the order in which tables are returned. If a query returns multiple tables (or series), the table order can change between query executions and result in the Single Stat visualization displaying inconsistent data. For consistent results, the Single Stat query should return a single table.

## Single Stat Controls

To view **Single Stat** controls, click **Customize** next to the visualization dropdown.

-   **Prefix**: Prefix to be added to the single stat.
-   **Suffix**: Suffix to be added to the single stat.
-   **Decimal Places**: The number of decimal places to display for the single stat.
    -   **Auto** or **Custom**: Enable or disable auto-setting.

###### Colorized Thresholds

-   **Base Color**: Select a base or background color from the selection list.
-   **Add a Threshold**: Change the color of the single stat based on the current value.
    -   **Value is**: Enter the value at which the single stat should appear in the selected color. Choose a color from the dropdown menu next to the value.
-   **Colorization**: Choose **Text** for the single stat to change color based on the configured thresholds. Choose **Background** for the background of the graph to change color based on the configured thresholds.

## Single Stat examples

### Show human-readable current value

The following example shows the current memory usage displayed has a human-readable percentage:

###### Query memory usage percentage

```js
from(bucket: "example-bucket")
    |> range(start: v.timeRangeStart, stop: v.timeRangeStop)
    |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "mem" and r._field == "used_percent")
```

###### Memory usage as a single stat
