    John,

    In this case is it the total amount of datapoints that are important, or the number of tables in a report, lines on a graph, etc? How does the end user interact with the data? Will they be spot checking values of 1000s of things at different timestamps, spot-checking summaries, or something else?

    I suspect what you want is an accurate summary (or rows if using table view) but graphs that look accurate regardless of how many data points are returned. Is this close?

    Here's another question - what does a report with a million devices look like? How can someone effectively interact with it? Same for 20-50K devices by sector.

    What insights are the customers looking for at scale that we can't already provide at smaller scale?

    Thanks for the info John, we will be exploring ways to deliver what you need for the first bullet, so stay tuned for that. I suggest utilizing TopN in the meantime to bubble up resources that need your attention.

    Hi John, can you provide more details about what you're hoping to show in this visualization? This error only presents when there are a massive amount of data points, typically graphs that are even half this amount of data points aren't very readable. If you provide more details about what you're looking for, maybe we can help you employ a different strategy.
