How to connect data points in CloudWatch dashboard?

Question

Hello, I am using a CloudWatch dashboard to display a metric of historical data. We would like the data to appear as a continuous timeline but currently it looks like discrete unconnected data points - is there a way to have our data points here connected like a line chart?

Accepted Answer

The metric math FILL might help you here.

If your metric has the ID m1, try
`FILL(m1,0)`
or, if you want to use the most recent values, then
`FILL(m1,REPEAT)`

for other options for FILL, and other functions, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/using-metric-math.html
