Each time series visualization type has a different set of display settings.

Area visualization display settings

Field

Description

Line stroke width

Sets the line stroke width for the items on the chart in pixels.

Disable tooltip

Option to remove tooltips on hover.Default: false

Show only one data point in tooltip

When turned on, the tooltip shows only the data point being hovered over. When turned off, the tooltip shows all data points.Default: Off, except when zoom is 400%, which automatically turns it on.

Show data table

Shows a table with chart and graph data for easier screen reader access. Data includes the percentage of the total for each value, when appropriate.

Show markers

Display a symbol at each data point on the chart to simplify identifying specific values. Available for line, spline, area, and step charts.

Show 0 when no data available

Choose whether to show 0 when there is no value in the selected dataset or for the configuration.Note: When enabled, the application fills missing values within an existing time series. However, it does not generate values for timestamps beyond the available dataset. As a result, if the selected date range extends past the last recorded data point, the visualization will not display a trailing 0, because no data point exists for that timestamp.

Show % of total in tooltip

Enable to show the percentage each data point contributes to the total alongside absolute values in the tooltip.

Show continuous line

Available when Show 0 when no data available is not selected. When selected and there is no data for a specific time, there is no gap in the chart and it shows continuous line.
