X-axis can be adjusted via `msg.ui_control.options`. By reading your requirements I can't really give strong advise but you probably need to do a bunch of experiments. See this thread to find examples and maybe to get things going [Help to Change X- Axis Value](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/help-to-change-x-axis-value/10874)  
And here is the link to the docs of charts [https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/charts/line.html](https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/charts/line.html)
