Table widget
A Table widget displays data from multivariate and structured data sets in tabular format.
A Table widget displays data in rows and columns. Each row in the table represents an item, and each column shows a selected attribute of that item; for example, a table might show a list of servers, with key attributes for each server (such as CPU usage and disk space).
You can click an item in the table to select the context for data displayed by other dashboard widgets.
A Table widget shows selected attributes from a data set; you can filter, sort, and search this data using the controls on the widget.
Depending on its event settings, a Table widget may send a Node clicked event when you click a row in the table. Any widget that is on the same page and subscribes to this event can be configured to update its content based on the context of the selected item. For example, when you select a item in the table, a chart on the same page may update to show data from that item.
A Table widget may also update its contents based on Node clicked events received from other widgets.
Using a REST interface, a Table widget can display data from more than one data set. The Table widget can be used to display details for a list of services, applications, and so on.
