Hi all,
I’m using Grafana and displaying data with the Table panel. I’ve enabled the “Column filter” option (under Panel Options), which allows users to filter the data in the table — this works well for viewing.
However, when a read-only user filters data using the column filters and clicks “Download CSV”, the exported CSV still includes all original rows, not just the ones filtered in the UI.
My question:
Is there a way to allow View-only (read-only) users to:
- Apply filters using the built-in Column filter option
- And download only the filtered data as CSV?
I understand that:
- Transformations can filter data before export, but they require edit permissions.
- Column filters are UI-only and not reflected in the data export.
Are there any known workarounds, plugins, or custom panel types that support filtered CSV export in View Mode?
Any advice would be appreciated — thank you!
