Limit Decimal Places / Precision in Y-Axis

[ghost]

It'd be great if there were a way to limit the precision of the Y-Axis. For some reason I randomly get behavior like the attached image with 15 digits after the decimal point.

I looked around at the other issues and the closest I can find is talking about doing this for the legend, which this isn't.

I'm running Grafana 2.1.3 (via RPM), the counter is from Graphite.

Since you have only a single series with no change, the auto detection of series min/max becomes very narrow compared to the scale of the series which causes the auto decimal precision to be out of wack. You can fix it by specifying a Grid Min value

Thanks, and yes - that would be a work around.

Controlling the decimal places shown would be handy for other scenarios too - eg for tracking integer values (write failures, visitor counts, etc) - where there's no point in having an axis that shows fractions.

Just encountered the same situation in Grafana 2.5, and although @torkelo workaround works, it would be nice if the Decimal selection for the legend would also work on the Y-axis.

+1 - not sure how to set the minimum grid level - I see setting the min/max Y, but I don't want to do that as the value might change (eg today it's hovering steady at 1MB and tomorrow it'll be steady at 10MB)

Is it possible to have Y-axis with no decimals? I have a graph that is counting the number of connection attempts. So my values are like 0, 1, 2, 3, ... Decimal is irrelevant in this case. How can I make Y-axis show only integer numbers?

[hwinkel]

is there any solution for that. we also have a y-axis just counting things.

[torkelo]

One workaround can bring to set your a axis min and max

Also just want a count of objects in the y-axis, decimals have no meaning when you are counting whole items, such as server instances:

Setting mix and max values doesn't help. The only thing which forces the alignment of values with whole numbers in the y-axis is setting the 'Scale' to 'log (base 2)':

I don't believe that is the correct solution...

solved by #6051

[kbrownlees]

For anyone stumbling on this issue, the fix in #6051 appears to have been reverted (not available in 4.4.1 at least), #8187 is the new issue which currently has milestones of 4.5 & 5.0.

[torkelo]

#6051 has nothing to do with decimal option

[kbrownlees]

You closed this issue with #2759 (comment) saying:

solved by #6051

While it was not the 'solution', it appears to have been the work around while there was no solution? #8187 appears to be the actual solution, but it has not been released yet.

@drewhemm did you ever figure it out?

[crawforde]

Having problems with this. Some plots have integers on the y axis. Some use decimals. All the settings appear to be the same.

please explain it in detail

Just put 0 in the field of decimal for y axis and apply
