Default Actual Content vs Time

Hello,

I would like to make a content vs time diagram on my dashboard, that is event based instead of interval based.
The default content vs time diagram seems to pull the current content on the defined interval, but I would like to update the graph on every entry / exit of i.e. a queue, is this possible?
With a chart of a tracked variable I can't seem to draw a line graph and if I have a lot of objects in my model, I would have to define a tracked variable for every object.

I actually have all the values of a custom object in the stats_contentgraph as a bundle, but I cant seem to draw the values of this bundle as a line graph where the time (x value) is in the first field of the bundle and the content (y value) is in the second field of the bundle. So a way to draw these points the way the content vs time line graph is made, would also work.

Esther,
Right now tracked variables are the only way to do it. You can draw a line graph by setting the tracked variable up with the same settings as the Work in Progress tracked variable.

Hello Anthony,

I solved it another way, leave the interval time 0 and update the timedata node on the moments I have an update, works like a charm.
