Line Chart "Number of data points to show" through api

Question & Answer
, , ,
1

We are using serverless to create our dashboards. We have a dashboard with a line chart visual that has more than 200 data points. I know that going through the console I can increase that to 400 through the x-axis options “Number of data points to show” box. I was wondering how to do it through serverless/ the api. I can’t find the option anywhere in the docs.

We’ve been using that documentation, I’m specifically looking for the number of data points option for line charts because I was unable to find that option in the docs, but see it in the console. Do you know specifically in the docs where I could find that option.

Thanks,
Will

@Xclipse I would think it would be in the XAxisDisplayOptions or XAxisLabelOptions of the lineChartConfiguration here, but I’m not seeing it.

Hi @willkoenig

I’m out of ideas. Sorry, to update line chart datapoints through api call is currently not possible but I’m marking this for feature request. At AWS, their roadmap is primarily driven by customers. Your feedback helps them build a better service. I have tagged this as a feature request. More features are being added on a regular basis, so please keep an eye on the What’s New / Blog . You can set up a Watching Alert by clicking on the bell icon.

You could look to opening up a case with AWS and see if they can provide a solution.

Here are the steps to open a support case . If your company has someone who manages your AWS account, you might not have direct access to AWS Support and will need to raise an internal ticket to your IT team or whomever manages your AWS account. They should be able to open an AWS Support case on your behalf. Hope this helps!

Hi @willkoenig,
It’s been awhile since we last heard from you. This has been made a feature request but just checking in to see if you had any additional questions regarding your initial topic?
If we do not hear back within the next 3 business days, I’ll go ahead and close out the topic.

Thank you!

That was the only question I had. Thanks for the feature request, I marked that as the solution so hopefully that closes it.
