Bytes formats the data size in bytes, with prefixes. Example: 1500000 will be displayed as 1.5 MB.

JSON offers a view of JSON data with expandable and collapsible nodes, allowing the interaction with its tree structure.

Log line highlights data in different colors on all columns if the data format is supported — supported formats are JSON, XML and accesslog. This is the default format for field @rawstring.

Number displays numbers with thousands separators and right-aligned column. Example: 1,000.24.

Text displays data as plain text. This is the default format for all fields except @rawstring, @timestamp and @ingesttimestamp.

Time Ago converts Unix timestamp with milliseconds in Time ago relative time. Example: 47m 12s ago.

Time Duration displays the milliseconds elapsed as duration. Example: 3000 is shown as 3s.

Timestamp displays the absolute Unix timestamp with milliseconds input format as exact date and time. Example: 1655110503000 is shown as 2022-06-13 10:55:03.000. This is the default format for fields @timestamp and @ingesttimestamp.

XML shows highlighted XML.

Make default for field saves the selected format as the default for that field, so that the data type previously chosen is kept when the field is removed and re-added in the Event List, rather than the standard format type for that field. These settings will never override the formatting chosen for any dashboard or widget already configured with different data types.
