Then the small flow in the linked post is nearly exactly what you are looking for. (if the timestamp value is unique and always progressing) as every new messages creates a new row and scrolls down)

Instead of the "demo data" node feed in your data as `msg.payload` into the "store data" node. to limit the max. amount of lines (see post below linked post) to be stored update the stopre data node (max could be easily around 1-5k if nessesary)

If you do not sort your table everything should be fine.

But as your date format should be save sorted alphabetically but if you like you can format the value / timestamp field as described here: [Ui-table date sort - #4 by Christian-Me](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/ui-table-date-sort/21685/4). (use an inject node to send `msg.ui_control` JSON together with an empty payload.
