Why does AWS CloudWatch dashboard widget does not respect scales when drawing two lines? - charts

I'm new to AWS and CloudWatch.
Here is a screenshot of a CloudWatch dashboard showing two parameters related to a Dynamo table.
As you can see in the pop-up the value of the sample for the orange timeseries is 2,252 while the value of the sample for the red timeseries is 7,000, yet the red chart is drawn under the orange chart. If you check the scale on the left, it seems the red series is the one that get drawn correctly, while the line of the orange one is somehow "inflated".
Can you please help me understand what is the reason behind this?

It looks like your mouse hover point data and the popup data are out of sync. Just a UI glitch.
The popup is showing 09:57 and probably on the chart at 09:57 those are the correct values.
The hover point you chose is a particular peak and is at what time? The last digit is cut off from the display but it's definitely not a 7! Looks like "09:50" maybe?
Minor UI glitch is my diagnosis.

Eventually I come up with this different set up, where one of the series has values mapped on the left Y-axis, while the other series has values mapped on the right Y-axis.
The main drawback is that the two series are not directly comparable, but at least the difference in value is more evident.

Tableau Logarithm worksheet displays inconsistently

I have a worksheet where I can show a logarithmic graph for 'ALL' partitions and get exactly what I want. However, if I select to display only a particular partition, the displayed results are Not the same. The only difference is that I have a filter to select individual partitions.
This is a problem both in Desktop, and also on the Tableau Server. Tableau Version 2019.2
Notice partition 8702. The Blue line should hover just above or on the yellow area.
Thank you.
FIG 1.
The ALL display.
FIG 2.
The 8702 partition selected only.
I turned on Show Mark Labels. Now I can see that on an item (1400) there is a order-qty (blue line is 13) while the yellow sales mark is 12. Those are converted-to log numbers, but I see the 13 (order-qty) IS greater than the sales number (12)...... It's just not converting the two graphs on the same scale. I think that's my problem. Maybe I am misusing the logrithmic chart. Am hoping I am making sense..
RESOLVED: Once I realized there was a problem with the scales being different. I found that if I right-click on the Edit Axis, I can set the axis to Syncronized. I did this for both Axis's of the chart.

Tableau bar chart looks different in worksheet vs. dashboard

Trying to make a cute little dual axis line and bar chart, time is continuous on x axis, value on y axis. For some visual flair (formatting still being worked on) I wanted to make banded columns to show months, which are not calendar months (454 system) and are therefore variable lengths of time.
I got it functionally looking how I wanted to on the worksheet. When dragged to a dashboard, even after a ridiculous amount of resizing, I get these weird lines. When I change the size of it, the lines change places.
Anyone have tips on getting these two graphs to look the same?

Grafana bar graph sorting, lower values not visible

I have a bar graph in Grafana (with InfluxDb). Its grouped by time and a tag. But I noticed that the large values are being drawn over the lower values.
Example below. You can see the points where the lower value bars are. I would expect that the lower values are drawn on top. Is this a setting?
Query:
Looking at your data it appears to be showing the time spent in each component of a request pipeline, so my suggestion would be to present them as stacked bars, which will better represent how each contributes to the total time spent.
You can enable stacked mode on the Display tab of the graph edit panel.
If you're more interested in seeing how each item compares to the others, then maybe a line or point plot would be easier to read, especially as superimposed bars will be be assumed to be stacked by most viewers.

Custom number format for y-axis on Chart

I have created a chart with 2 axes that acts as a panel chart (see image)
As a panel chart I only want to show the portions of the relevant y-axes to the chart next to them. For example, for the right-most y-axis I used a custom number format to exclude anything less than 0:
_(* #,##0_);_("";_(* 0??_);_(#_)
But for the left most y-axis, I'm stuck. I want to show -400 to positive 400. I've tried 2 different options, but neither is producing the desired effect.
[<0](#,##0);[>500000000]"";#,##0_)
[<0](#,##0);[<500000000]#,##0_);""
Here is the result I'm looking for:
I learned something new today (and a bit weird) regarding formats and chart axes
After some experimenting, this is what I ended up using:
[White][>500]_(#,##0_);(#,##0);0;
The odd part: When you change the Display Units of the axis (for me, millions), then the formatting no longer recognizes the original amount (500,000,000).
Once I figured that out, I was able to work out the solution.

multiple stacked area charts nvd3 - errors

I am trying to create a dashboard with multiple area charts on the same page. I have two issues.
I want to get rid of the small circle on the chart that indicates value point and moves along with the cursor and the interactiveguideline. What is the name of that circle and how do I remove it?
After some research, I figured out how to change the Y-axis values to percentages. But I would like some graphs to show percentages and others to show regular numbers. Is there an easy way to do this?
