[0.10] admin UI doesn't display results for some SHOW queries

[beckettsean]

For instance SHOW CONTINUOUS QUERIES returns JSON in the payload but the results area is blank.

tested with 0.9.4.2

This happens in 0.9.6 and 0.10 also (a UI warning "Query returned no results!" is shown instead). Works fine using the CLI.

@beckettsean more commands than just SHOW CONTINUOUS QUERIES might not be supported by Web UI, eg. SHOW USERS.

@jwilder anyone giving love to the Admin UI soon?

[jwilder]

@beckettsean Not currently. PRs to improve/fix it are welcome though.

Can i work on this item if nobody else is working on it currently ?

SHOW CONTINUOUS QUERIES when executed from Admin UI actually returns the result for _internal table as well.

So it fails in the line https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/blob/master/shared/admin/js/admin.js#L184 and displays that the query returned no results.

LIkewise for SHOW USERS, if you have added some users then it would show in the results, if not the condition check for values.length pasted above would fail and the error is displayed.
