Hi i didn’t recognized your first question:

A) use a decend widget size and not auto  
B) use the customHight property in the tabulator json  
C) use the latest version of ui-table - there is a fix for what might be your problem

And last but Not least a simpler flow as an example showing the use of ui-table helper

> Hi perhaps somebody is interested. Just finished a syslog server for the node-red dashboard. It makes use of ui-table. I hope somebody finds it useful. It is build around ui-table and a subflow I use for all kinds of tables in my projects. [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Christian-Me/node-red-contrib-home/master/Node-RED/syslog/screenshots/demo.gif(image larger than 4096KB)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Christian-Me/node-red-contrib-home/master/Node-RED/syslog/screenshots/demo.gif) Features can handle quite huge amounts of data only limited by the clients browser. As every line is sent individual…

Even if you don’t have a device or software sending syslog messages you can use the inject node to simulate the data input.
