I would like to do interface statistics, but I have the problem that I have no data from time to time.
I now want that when there is no data, there is a gap - which is not happening at the moment → I guess because I need “difference” as I have to subtract the current value with the previous value to see the utilisation of the interface.
I collect the value every minute.
So, it should not be connected if the current and the previous value are more than 1 minute apart.
Hello and welcome to the Grafana forum.
Did you play around with the Connect null values threshold setting and see how it affects your results?

Hi,
yes, no change. Because the Value is never null.
So if I have a Port with value 500 at 07:00 and with value 900 at 07:23 → the value is 400 and not null.
OK, so I think we need to explore your query a bit more.
I see on your screenshot that you show one query called Bits IN Avg, but 2 lines on the graph, so I presume you have 2 queries.
Have you thought about doing a Transform whereby you do the difference between the 2 queries, like this?
Cool idea, I hadn’t thought of that.
But the problem is that there are 2 graphs → bits IN and bits OUT.
So I only have one query to calculate with.
Maybe again to understand how it is calculated:
e.g. Bits IN
Port has the following values
07:00 => 100
07:01 => 105
07:02 => 108
07:03 => 116
07:04 - 07:20 => no values
07:21 => 265
07:22 => 268
so now I have to
07:01 - 07:00 = 5
07:02 - 07:01 = 3
07:03 - 07:02 = 8
so the values would then be fairly equal, so even and correct graph
If I don’t get any values between 07:03 and 07:21, the following will happen
07:21 - 07:03 → that would be a value of 149 → therefore wrong
probably the value at 07:20 => 260, so 5 would be correct,
Hope this is clear.
If I now do this with Transform, I cannot subtract the current value with the previous value, can I?
