Value Mapping doesn’t work

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?

Grafana v10.1.5, hosted locally on linux machine.

  • What are you trying to achieve?

Light up cells in a table visualization panel with red coloured text when their value is equal to “FAIL”.

  • How are you trying to achieve it?

I added the following rule in value mappings:

I tried to do the same for specific column using Override, but it didn’t work either.

  • What happened?

Nothing.

  • What did you expect to happen?

Text changes colour.

  • Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?

SQL query:

            SELECT
                execution_time,
                build,
                result,
-- some more fields
            FROM
                metadata
            WHERE
-- some filters            
            ORDER BY
                execution_time DESC;

Mappings defined as:

          "mappings": [
            {
              "options": {
                "FAIL": {
                  "color": "dark-red",
                  "index": 0,
                  "text": "failing"
                },
                "PASS": {
                  "color": "dark-green",
                  "index": 1,
                  "text": "passed!"
                }
              },
              "type": "value"
            }
          ],
  • Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.

No errors.

Shame to admit but I had an override for one of the columns that I overlooked.
What I also forgot to add was Cell type override, see:

I guess one sometimes needs fresh eyes and right question asked by another person:)
Thanks for you help!
