Hi,

I currently have an azure managed elastic cloud which contains logs from various sources. I have been developing a dashboard with all the data available in the logs. I currently need help in creating a table visualization as shown in the image attached.

All the details mentioned in the image is available in the logs. Appreciate the help.

This is not my area, but if anyone is going to be able to help you out you most likely will need to share a sample of what the data looks like and how it is mapped. It is also generally also always a good idea to state which version you are using.

Thanks for the info.  
The version is: 8.17.1

These are the fields which I would need to be in the table  
fields.@timestamp  
fields.user\_id  
message  
fields.resources.resourceType  
fields.resources.resourceName

Mapping is not an issue, However I need a visualization type or idea on how to display all the fields in form of a table.

Does your table have any aggregations or is it simply a grid with the fields you have selected

If it's simply a grid with the fields you have selected.

Go to discover, you can put those fields in the columns and save that as a saved search and then use that in any dashboard you like.
