Chart JS not showing all data

Question

I am working on the following chart. My plan is to use it to display live data every 1 second with a buffer of 600 points. I want it to display initial data (the entire 600 points) fetches data (simulated through setInterval) then puts it and shift. The problem is that it only displays 12 points.

Question 1: Can you help me what am I missing or is it impossible with ChartJS? Question 2: Is this buffer reasonable with ChartJS?

It seems that you can't update datasets with myChart.update(). try to create temporary object and then assign that object to myChart.data.datasets. you then need to redraw your chart again. I had the same issue with using chart.js in my angular project link. Did you check link?

Even without updating it and assign just an array of 600 points as shown will only show 12 points.

Also the chart is updated through .update() but only shows 12 points.
