Hi,  
In graph panels values are shown as having 3 digit precision. Is it possible to change that ?  
for example : when the value is an integer = 4, I would like to see 4 in the graph and not 4.000 as it is displayed actually in GRAFANA 6.5.1.  
Regards.

Yes - under Axes you have a Decimals setting, which by default is “auto”. Set  
that to the number of decimal places you want displayed.

In that case you would set Decimals = 0.

Antony.

Yes , Edit your bar panel and open visualization. you can see Axes section in visualization there by default short unit is selected change short to none. then actual value will be visible instead of 4.6k

hi all,

i’m trying to build a graph based on exchange rate.  
Exchange rate is stored with comma in sql (4,4912) but in grafana i cannot put it like that in left y. So , my graph is…a straight line interpreted as 4.  
tried with misc-locale but not succeeded. Anyone with another idea?
