This the data feeding the chart from InfluxDB after converting into an array... There are 5 temperatures series, the arrays have timescale and temp

Ok, I have been working on this. It appears that using the data from InfluxDB gets the chart to display. Now I can trying to figure out how to format the X axis.

ok, I figured it all out. I will leave so it might help others.  
So a recap -  
use the data straight from InfluxDB.  
You might need to combine tags, I did.  
Use the "key" for series, x and y values.  
here is the code I used to combine tags, use a function node. There might be better ways but I could figure out how to do it in the Chart node, which would have been nice.

```auto
let arr = msg.payload; // Assuming the array is in msg.payload

for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    arr[i].combinedTag = arr[i].tag1 + " " + arr[i].tag2; // Combine tag1 and tag2
}

msg.payload = arr;
return msg;

```
