Chart increment problem (decimal not integer)

Hello guys,

I've a problem : I can't set integers for the X axis, I have sometimes decimal values :

XML options:

    <option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.overflowMode">ellipsisNone</option>
    <option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.rotation">0</option>
    <option name="charting.axisTitleX.visibility">visible</option>
    <option name="charting.axisTitleY.visibility">visible</option>
    <option name="charting.axisTitleY2.visibility">visible</option>
    <option name="charting.axisX.scale">linear</option>
    <option name="charting.axisY.scale">linear</option>
    <option name="charting.axisY2.enabled">0</option>
    <option name="charting.axisY2.scale">inherit</option>
    <option name="charting.chart">bar</option>
    <option name="charting.chart.bubbleMaximumSize">50</option>
    <option name="charting.chart.bubbleMinimumSize">10</option>
    <option name="charting.chart.bubbleSizeBy">area</option>
    <option name="charting.chart.nullValueMode">gaps</option>
    <option name="charting.chart.showDataLabels">none</option>
    <option name="charting.chart.sliceCollapsingThreshold">0.01</option>
    <option name="charting.chart.stackMode">default</option>
    <option name="charting.chart.style">shiny</option>
    <option name="charting.drilldown">none</option>
    <option name="charting.layout.splitSeries">0</option>
    <option name="charting.legend.labelStyle.overflowMode">ellipsisMiddle</option>
    <option name="charting.legend.placement">right</option>
    <option name="link.visible">0</option>

    <option name="charting.axisLabelsX.integerUnits">true</option>
    <option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorUnit">1</option>
    <option name="charting.axisX.minimumNumber">1</option>

Thanks.

It depends on your search; what is your search string and what is your timepicker setting for it?

Something like :

index=... | stats dc(file) by user

timepicker : today

Thanks a lot.

@realsplunk... You are using Bar chart so X-axis is actually Y-axis in the chart. The reason why you are seeing decimals is because Splunk chart automatically adjusts Major Units of an axis based on Minimum and Maximum Data Points. Based on the screenshot your Min and Max points are 0 and 1 hence the intervals are in decimal. You can set the majorUnit to 1 to stop this. However, you should do this only if your maximum value is low (preferably in 1-10 or so). You can either add the following in Simple XML or set the Interval from Chart Settings in UI (as shown in attached image).

<option name="charting.axisLabelsY.majorUnit">1</option>

Thanks a lot!!! That was ambiguous and misleading.
