Hello!

I use Graphite as a datasource and not able to get points connected to each other. (some of them are connected though).  
Seems there is an option to increase the time interval which should connects points, but I can not find it.  
(for more info look at the screenshots)

Could anyone assist, please?

Thanks!

Maybe your graphite storage schema is to fine resolution compared to how frequently you send data, so there are null values between each point.

You can in display options choose how nulls should be handled, connected mode will simply ignore them and throw them away, but then it will be hard to see regions of missing data for time periods when your are not sending data to Graphite.

You can also use graphite function transformNull to change nulls into a value
