I have a dashboard created with a few different things in it, and when I left the office on Friday my 'Sessions' count was only showing whole numbers in that particular chart. However, when I came in this morning, it's showing in 0.25 increments (in the X axis). How could I change this back to whole numbers?
Thanks,
Tyler

I suspect you'll need to use this charting parameter, assuming you're in simple XML:
<option name="charting.axisLabelsX.integerUnits">true</option>
UPDATE: Given that you're using a bar graph, try setting charting.axisLabelsY.integerUnits to true instead. I just tested it on a view of my own, and the axisLabelsY parameter affected the dependent axis, which for a bar graph is the horizontal one. Go figure.
You can read about the other available parameters for axes and gridlines at http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/4.3.3/Developer/CustomChartingConfig-AxisGrid

Where in the XML would this go? I've tried several places and nothing is working. Right now it looks like this:
bar
gaps
false
default
false
none
""
""

The change to the Y axis like you mentioned above got it, thanks! Oh and for the search string I listed I just took out the search I'm doing when I posted it on here.

@henryt1, I updated my answer above. Did you modify your XML from what appears in your dashboard? searchString is miscapitalized, and I'm not sure what you're doing a bar graph over since your search has no statistical command.
