Hi,
I’m storing urls to pictures in a database (weather icons) and I would like to show the latest picture in Grafana. Is that possible? How should I do that?
Thanks for your help!
Hi，did you solve it？same request with me
Hi,
No, unfortunately not! So if anyone has a clue, please help us out! 
You can do it with the “old” table panel which is still usable in Grafana v9 although it’s kind of hidden away now - you have to create a “new” table panel in the Grafana GUI and then inspect and edit the panel JSON to change:
"type": "table",
to:
"type": "table-old",
Then apply that change, and add a column style of type string and enable the “Sanitize HTML” option.
Finally in that table string field you select the HTML to render your image e.g. something like:
select CONCAT('<img src="', table.url_field, '" height="200">') as 'img'
from ...
where ...
Although if you are rendering local stored images then they must be somewhere in the Grafana directories that Grafana has access to (like /usr/share/grafana/public/pics). In older versions of Grafana (at least on Ubuntu deb) I could store images anywhere and put a symbolic link in the Grafana directories but now with Grafana v9 version it seems symbolic links are no longer supported so I had to do a bind mount instead.
In my opinion the Sanitize HTML option is the single most powerful feature of the old table panel, I still can’t understand why it was removed in the new table panel. My tables can have not only images but styles, fonts, emojjis, icons, colours, the sky is the limit.
