Draw points on a graph with lineMode=connected

Asked by Matthew Gantz

I am trying to put together some graphs that will display timeseries data, but will 'highlight' certain points that exhibit some characteristic (e.g. over a threshold). Currently I am accomplishing this by sending the timeseries as one metric, and sending the interesting datapoints as a seperate metric. I am hoping to draw the second metric as large dots overlaid on top of the first metric.

Has anyone done anything like this? My thought was that I would need to write a new function to do this, but I'm not 100% sure where I would get started doing this.

You can draw a threshold line on the graph with the threshold() function, I
think...

I'm not looking to draw the threshold, I'm looking to draw discrete points.

To further clarify, the 'connected' lineMode makes all series on the graph show as continuous. I would like to display both discrete and continuous data on the same axes. This could be accomplished if lineMode only applied to one series, rather than the entire graph.

There's no way to currently do that.
Please add a feature request.
