Hi,

Can I set the Time Series to show which like defined in the Timelion?

.es(index=netflow-latest, timefield=@timestamp, metric='sum:system.network.in.flow').yaxis(units=bits/s).scale\_interval(1m)

That means, I need first sum the data, and then scale the result of the sum to a time interval.

Thank you.  
Romain

You can set the specific interval in the `Panel Options` tab, with the `Interval` box. If you set it to 1m it should give you the same result as `.scale_interval(1m)`

Yes, after set it, I can get the data.  
But, in the image, there is too many point be draw.  
In the Timelion, the point to draw is better.

Is there any other way to try?

Thanks

Do you just want to have the points removed from the chart? In this case, you can set the "Point size" to 0 in the options of the Data tab.
