Graph visualization

The Graph visualization provides several types of graphs, each configured through the Graph controls.

Line Graph example

Select the Graph option from the visualization dropdown in the upper left.

Graph behavior

The Graph visualization color codes each table (or series) in the queried data set. When multiple series are present, it automatically assigns colors based on the selected Line Colors option.

When using a line graph, all points within a single table are connected. When multiple series are present, it automatically assigns colors based on the selected Line Colors option.

Graph controls

To view Graph controls, click Customize next to the visualization dropdown.

Data
  • X Column: Select a column to display on the x-axis.
  • Y Column: Select a column to display on the y-axis.
  • Time Format: Select the time format. Options include:

    • HH:mm:ss.sss
    • MMMM D, YYYY HH:mm:ss
    • dddd, MMMM D, YYYY HH:mm:ss
Options
  • Interpolation: Select from the following options:
    • Line: Display a time series in a line graph
    • Smooth: Display a time series in a line graph with smooth point interpolation.
    • Step: Display a time series in a staircase graph.
  • Line Colors: Select a color scheme to use for your graph.
  • Shade Area Below Lines: Shade in the area below the graph lines.
  • Hover Dimension: Select the data to display in the tooltip when you hover over the graph:
    • auto or X Axis: Show all points with the same x value along the y-axis.
    • Y Axis: Show all points with the same y value along the x-axis.
    • X & Y Axis: Show only the point currently being hovered over.
Y Axis
  • Y Axis Label: Label for the y-axis.
  • Y Axis Prefix: Prefix to be added to y-value.
  • Y Axis Suffix: Suffix to be added to y-value.
  • Y Axis Domain: The y-axis value range.
    • Auto: Automatically determine the value range based on values in the data set.
    • Custom: Manually specify the minimum y-axis value, maximum y-axis value, or range by including both.
      • Min: Minimum y-axis value.
      • Max: Maximum y-axis value.
  • Positioning:
    • Overlaid: Display graph lines overlaid on each other.
    • Stacked: Display graph lines stacked on top of each other.
