Please consider moving this question as-is (no need to recreate) to the proper forum for maximum visibility. Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and can go unanswered for a long time.
You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the upper-right. Then search for and select: "Storage Resource Management Community".
I'll be honest, I don't see anything wrong with that second picture. The peaky nature you are seeing is just the drawing of the graphs between the data points. From that graph it appears the data it is showing is being polled with a 5 minute polling cycle, hence the way it is being displayed. The first graph is over a much wider timescale, so it's not as noticeable, however you can still see it in some parts, particularly the top of the graph at around the 11:15 mark.
If you want more granular data you can of course change the polling frequency for the data, however it's worth keeping in mind the extra load this will generate on the systems being polled, the impact on the database size to store the extra data points, and ensuring that all components in the collector chain have the change made accordingly (e.g. if you change the polling cycle in the actual config for that collector type, make sure you change the polling frequency values in other components being used such as the availability filter which has a default of 300 as the assumed poll interval).

Hello,
