Hello,

I’m relatively new to Grafana. I am interfacing Grafana with a MySQL DB. I have data from multiple sources I want in the same plot panel. One data source has high frequency data (5 min) and I want that plotted as a line. Another data source has low frequency data (e.g., every couple hours) and I want that plotted as points. It seems for a given plot container, you must select line, point or bar and all datasets will be plotted in that manner.

I’ve done some searching for a solution, but I have not found one, perhaps because this isn’t possible. The only solution may be to put the other dataset in a different plot container?

Thanks,  
Justin
