Google cloud monitoring unstable graphs

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
    Grafana v8.4.4 (fcfb01faeb) on k8s

  • What are you trying to achieve?
    I want a graph that looks the same (or very similar) if I refresh after 30 seconds

  • What happened?
    On inital load the graph looks as follows. Threshold is exceeded

Reloading after 30 seconds, the graph looks very different: values are about half as high and are below the threshold

  • What did you expect to happen?
    That the grap looks the same (or very similar)

  • Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?
    Datasource:
    Google cloud monitoring

MQL query:
fetch l7_lb_rule
| metric ‘logging.googleapis.com/user/test_client_apigroup
| sum

I found a solution setting the timeshift to “0s/m”
