Since the template has access to everything in the event, you can use the fields in any way you like. The following example creates a horizontal table of fields but lets the user specify a specific set of fields to display in a special field.
Our template, stored in appserver/event_renderers/tabular.html, looks as follows:
<%inherit file="//results/EventsViewer_default_renderer.html" /> <%def name="event_raw(job, event, request, options, xslt)"> <% import sys _fields = str(event.fields.get('tabular', 'host,source,sourcetype,line count')).split(',') head = '' row = '' for f in _fields: head += "<th>" + f + "</th>" row += "<td>" + str(event.fields.get(f, '-')) + "</td>" %> <table class="tabular_eventtype"> ...
