My team is using ELK Stack 7.3.2

We would like to monitor our micro services.  
Uptime monitor will not be sufficient in this use case.

I was trying to build a Canvas

filters  
| essql  
query="SELECT hostname, status FROM "boris-topic\*"  
where hostname is not null  
GROUP BY hostname, status  
"  
| table showHeader=true  
| render

This is what I have in Canvas

This is Uptime monitor.

Is there a way for me to have Up/Down colored ?

From my understanding there is an option of conditional coloring in canvas .  
we actually have a recent thread that goes through how to setup conditional colors in Canvas expressions. Let me know if this helps.

> Hey Scott, can you post a code snippet of what you are trying when the conditional doesn't work as expected?

Hope it helps

Also additionally, so for a table, I don't think we have yet a way to do that. We have an enhancement issue open here: [https://github.com/elastic/enhancements/issues/5323](https://github.com/elastic/enhancements/issues/5323)

([https://elastic.slack.com/archives/DNTA177JB/p1571246805006300](https://elastic.slack.com/archives/DNTA177JB/p1571246805006300))

If you split out the table, though, you can use the conditional color solutions

Thanks
