- What Grafana version and what operating system are you using? **10.3** - **What** are you trying to achieve? Additional information in tooltip - **How** are you trying to achieve it? Adding a column with besides this \_value - What happened? Dont see the column data - What did you **expect** to happen? See the column data in tool tip - Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with? I have this table and I would like to be able to see the “baseline” information in the tool tip besides the value, how can I achieve that? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/3X/b/5/b5064f5762507bc356101115394f64957d87da16.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/3X/3/a/3a0aa8c5a6acbf382c57bb2ecae49668aae44fb3.png) ---

You need proper column naming `value, time, metric` Mocking your data in my ms sql ```auto select cast('2024-04-11 10:28:42' as datetime) as [time], 3339 as value, 'cspcd.cis_master.10189' as metric union select cast('2024-04-11 15:33:18' as datetime) as [time], 2935 as value, 'cspcd.cis_master.10198' as metric union select cast('2024-04-11 20:22:18' as datetime) as [time], 3489 as value, 'cspcd.cis_master.10217' as metric union select cast('2024-04-15 10:55:34' as datetime) as [time], 2258 as value, 'cspcd.cis_master.10224' as metric ``` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/3X/5/c/5c22df0e0cd82d42447d0506bc5b811f892052af.png) and proper format selected `Time series` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/3X/e/5/e56fbb29d5a65c72fcc47660f2d1fab6570467cc.png) when you choose `Table` as Format you don’t get the metric ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/3X/e/d/ed80de592a4de2a4e3f1c33456caa0f83241a813.png) ---

Im using influxdb and time series graph. I think that the column naming should be ok… ---

@yosiasz when you see the baselines in the time series graph, the points are not connected, right? ---

Still not able to see lines for graph in time series with column info in tooltip, using 10.3.0, only works with points. Hope [[feature-request] Labels/metadata on tooltips · Issue #73989 · grafana/grafana · GitHub](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/73989) will solve the problem ---

@sowdenraymond I tried with grafana 11.0.0 and newVizTooltips enabled but I still cant get a time series graph with lines with column info in tool tip. The closest I get is points: ![Screenshot from 2024-06-13 09-25-07](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/3X/7/7/77a306d2496b4af5b0830085933d85c0f45d7c96.png)
