Hi, Peter. 

Thank you for the product idea, and if I understand you correctly, you would like there to be a way to set the chart to automatically update with new values as new values come in?

I will change this post to a product idea and you can track it's progress, and see how others engage with the idea and up vote it. 

 

Best regards, Knut Vidvei

Yes, and to scroll the chart to keep it with the current date/time in view on the right.

 

Thanks

Right, I understand. 

Then I assume you want to keep it at the last X days/hours/min. What are the typical time frames you look at? And how often would you expect the data to refresh?

Ideally, it would work like Grafana does. You set a refresh interval from off to 5 sec to 1 day. And, you set the time frame from last 5 min to last 5 years.
