vertical autoscaling of graphs doesn't handle peaks well #17

Open aspiers opened 7 years ago

aspiers commented 7 years ago

For some reason I can trigger horrendous packet loss on my local network simply by uploading a file to Google Drive. When I do this, I get latency spikes as high as 500-1000ms, whereas previously everything was nice and stable under 25ms. This means that when the spikes appear, the auto-scaling kicks in and the previous data under 25ms gets squashed so thinly at the bottom of the graph that it becomes invisible. Firstly, even when it is squashed like this it should still be visible. But secondly, I would suggest a logarithmic graph or horizon graph so that wide variations can still be easily viewed on a single graph.

Thanks for the feedback, and apologies for the late response, just letting you know your request had been noted, but it requires some significant additions to https://github.com/20c/graphsrv as well but we're looking into it.

No problem and thanks a lot for the update! Please do consider horizon graphs as an option, because they are pretty awesome in terms of space efficiency and visual clarity! :-)
