Preserving max value and averaging on large time range

Hello all,

In the above graph, the max value is 14, and here I have displayed one hour worth of data. Now if I zoom out and display 24 hours data, the graph is as follows:

Here the max value becomes 11. From what I understand this happens because the data is averaged out with a wider range of data.

But I want to preserve the max data. (This graph is tracking utilisation of a resource, and the max utilisation is the important metric here).

How can I configure the graph so that irrespective of the time range selected, the max value is selected to display from a time window, instead of current average value of all the data points?

The data source I am suing is prometheus, and the query is sum(saturation_in_value{}) + sum(saturation_out_value{})

X.

Try to use the consolidateBy function.

Hi guys, I’m facing the same problem but I’m not using Graphite. My datasource is Prometheus.
So any recommendation on how to solve this problem, maybe a similar approach as used by consolidateBy with Graphite?
