This topic describes how to configure a table to display query results.

Background information

Tables are used to sort and display data for quick reference and analysis. All query results that match specified query statements can be rendered into visualized charts. By default, the query results are displayed in a table.

Each table consists of the following elements:
  • Table header
  • Row
  • Column
where:
  • The number of columns can be specified by using a SELECT statement.
  • The number of rows is calculated based on the number of log entries in a specified time range. The default clause is LIMIT 100.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Log Service console.
  2. In the Projects section, click the name of the project that you want to manage.
  3. Choose Log Storage > Logstores, and then click the Logstore that you want to manage.
  4. Enter a query statement in the search box, specify a time range, and then click Search & Analyze.
  5. On the Graph tab, click the Table - 001 icon.
  6. On the Properties tab, configure the properties of the table.

Examples

You can filter fields in raw log entries. The following figure shows a raw log entry.Raw logs
  • To filter the request_method, request_uri, and request_time fields in the latest 10 log entries, execute the following query statement: 
    * | SELECT request_method, request_uri, request_time GROUP BY request_method, request_uri, request_time LIMIT 10
    Table - 01
  • To query the average of the request_time field values (the average request time) in a specified time range and round the average to three decimal places, execute the following query statement: 
    * | SELECT round(avg(request_time), 3) as average_request
    Table - 01
  • To group the values of the remote_addr field in a specified time range and sort the values in descending order, execute the following query statement: 
    * | SELECT remote_addr, count(*) as count GROUP BY remote_addr ORDER BY count DESC
    Table - 01
