Hi,

I am creating some time series plots in Visual Builder. The data points are connected when the x-axis time unit is large; but as I zoom in (finer resolution in x-axis), I only see the dots.

Is there a way to keep the data points connected across all resolutions?

Thanks,

Shafique

Hi,

I tried this in my local and my chart looks like yours.  
@simianhacker is this possible right now?

Thanks,

The issue here is that you've zoomed past the resolution of your data. There is a setting under Panel Options that allows you to change the interval. If you use the `>=` and then the minimum resolution the data should be viewed as then you won't have this issue. For example, if I had event data that was collected and shipped every 10 seconds then I would set the interval to `>=10s`. Which means use auto bucketing for everything greater or equal to `10s`.

As for "just" connecting the dots... the issue with that is outlined in [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/11793](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/11793) and [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/24747](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/24747)
