Live graph time interval showing 3 days 8 hours instead of 8 hours.

I have the live graph time interval set to 8 hours. Most, not all, sensors show the live graph as 3 days 8 hours. This also affects newly created sensors.

The actual time that the graphs display depends on the number of values and the intervals defined for the object in case. For example, if in the Live Graph you select "120 values (= 2 hours with 1 min scanning interval), this means that you will see 2 hours, as long as the scanning interval of the monitored object is 60 seconds. If the interval is 120 seconds, you would see 4 hours. And if the scanning interval was set to 30 seconds, you would only see 1 hour of data for that particular object. It is not possible to define a precise timespan, as the time is computed by the number of values and, therefore, depends also on the scanning interval of the respective object.

Got it. I see what happened now. The scanning interval for those sensors was not inheriting the parent's 60 second interval and was set to 10 minute scan interval (80 hour time span which is 3 days 8 hours).

Thank you!
