Remove unused timestamps in panel and change timestamp to display tagged data

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
    11.4.0/Ubuntu 24.04

  • What are you trying to achieve?
    I have a timeseries panel where I will be manually inputting data. That data will not have consistent timestamps, which is to say they will be at least weekly gaps, and at most a month, and I only require granularity effectively to the day. I would like to have the data points evenly spaced out across as many entries as there are, meaning if I have three weekly points, two three week gaps, and two more weekly, there would not be visually larger gap between the three week points.

I’d potentially like to also replace the dates themselves with a tagged value associated with those entries.

  • How are you trying to achieve it?
    I have multiple entries for dates in question via line input. For example

race_results,driver=ABC,team=DEF,location=Vancouver points=10 1736348701000000000

…and so on. Every location will be unique to the timestamp associated with it.

I’m extraordinarily green in this context and the searching I’ve done hasn’t led me to any feasible course. So I’m wondering if it’s even possible.

The initial data entry is fine and does what I want, the screenshot shows where I am with the initial sample data. I’m just looking for any additional formatting ability here to get it a little cleaner.

In the screenshot, I have two entry points. I’d like to have the date stamps between the two points removed and only show the dates of the data itself on the axis. The chart will probably be set to the year, though I may dynamically choose the timeframe to ensure it fills the whole width of the display.

If there’s some obvious guide I’m missing to accomplish this, please point me in the right direction.

Looks like your data is influxdb. If others do not chime in, you might better off posting on influxdb community forum
