Welcome to the forum @ani15.

It seems to be working fine. I just deleted a wrong configuration in your inject node. If you revise the inject node it is going to work.

Your latest flow works fine for me. Did you refresh the browser window and clear the browser cache?

As @zenofmud mentioned the JSON object inside the inject node is malformed. Since you redefine the object again in the next node everything will work if you inject a timestamp instead of injecting that object.

@Andrei @ani15 I think what can be conusing is that in an inject node, using the `{} JSON` option to build the object, you must put double quotes around the `key`, while in a function node you can omit the double quotes around the `key`.

Get in a habit of always using the double quotes around the `key` when building an object. That will make it easier in the future.

I made no changes to the flow you last provided.

What version of NR, node.js and the dashboard are you on? You can find this information in the startup log.

my ui table output is not being displayed in the debug sidebar also when connected it to debug node and it seems that the msg is somehow not going to the table node from the function node or something like that since on checking the output of the function through debug node i am getting the output on the debug bar but not in case of ui-table node.....any possible solution to this ?

I've just changed the title of the thread to reflect this issue is happening on the IBM cloud. That might attract the attention of someone what will have experience with it.
