@wfjm I don’t know for sure but I don’t think the table-old has been removed in any v8 (at least not yet). It’s still in the github repository, nothing in any of the v8 release notes I could find either.
I am using v8.1.5 and I can still successfully change:
"type": "table",
to:
"type": "table-old",
at the panel level or at the dashboard level and it works fine.
Another user on the forum said recently that they got an error changing it at the panel level but it worked when changing it at the dashboard level. But as I said, both work for me.
I don’t want to update to a newer Grafana version before I 100% confirm table-old still works as my dashboards rely on table-old, I cannot replicate my current panels with the new table panel so it would be a breaking change for me.
On my linux install I can see I have the files for both plugins here. Do you see the same?:
/usr/share/grafana/public/app/plugins/panel/table
/usr/share/grafana/public/app/plugins/panel/table-old
