Splunk Line charts are not displaying interval values correctly on Y axis

I have a line chart where I have mentioned values for y axis as below:
interval: 25 min value: 0 max value: 100
So I should be getting a chart where the division of lines and scale will be 0,25,50,75,100. But instead I am getting values on y axis as 40,80. I want the lines on y axis to be 25,50,75,100.

Legend

@nagar57 This is because Highcharts tries to adjust Dynamically based height (even width) of the chart and amount of data label to show on the axis. In your case you have

  1. Legends on top and
  2. X-axis label on the bottom

Both reduce the height of the chart. On top of this if you reduce panel height using Simple XML height option then also you will see lesser Data Labels on y-axis.

Refer to the following two examples through a run anywhere dashboard example and you will realize the issue and fix.

 Following is the Simple XML code for run anywhere example screenshot above.
PS: First chart is also using seriesCompare for legend on right.
