Hello,

I have started using average bar node and found many issues,

1)When I choose "last month" in X axis and tried to push 4 values:  
a) It shows minimum and average the same values without bar as shown in picture

 ![Average bar](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/a/3/a39d3d7cf09042f0a8f921a8861d3ebc432257ef.jpeg)

Another time after deploying it without any changes it shows like this. So this node doesnt seems to be stable. Did someone ever worked with it??

Is that [GitHub - nazcasun/node-red-contrib-dashboard-average-bars: Calculate and display the average values of msg.payload in a bar chart.](https://github.com/nazcasun/node-red-contrib-dashboard-average-bars)?

If so, it has not been updated in 5 years and appears to be no longer supported by the author. It may be that it just does not work any more. Probably you should find a different solution.

Oh oke. Do you have any suggestions or an alternative solution to find min, max and avg value and to show it in a graph?

I monitoring temperatures from every joint(6 axis robot) and i have 5 robots.  
So basically i need to monitor 30 values for a month.

I would store the data in Influxdb and then use Grafana for complex charts. Alternatively you could fetch it from influx in node-red and display it using the standard dashboard chart. Influx queries can give you the min, max and average values.
