I am able to add series and add point in charts but the series that I add after initialization, which is "volvo", is not drawing lines between its points. What might be the problem?
And is there any other way of comparing arrays and adding points without a for-loop? Because I can get millions of series at times and I don't want to be looping over arrays to check if it exists or not. So is there any efficient way of finding wheteher a list already exists, and if it does what is its index?
here is its fiddle: www.jsfiddle.net/2jYLz/

It is related with fact that you have enabled shifting in addPoint() when you add new serie. In other words, shifting remove first point and add new in the end of serie. So when you have one point it caused your scenario. So you need to disable shipfing, and when lenght of series.data achieve i.e 10 points, shifting should be enabled.

So What I am trying to Create is a Chart in which around 130 points data are flowing in a single second time. Now, Suppose I Have an array of 1000 elements which I want to render in Highchart.
I am able to render the Highchart with the 1000 elements of array, but the problem is that after the end of the array, the Highchart is not stopping. it keeps running.
I just want to stop the Highchart when it reaches end of the array.
Here is the Code that I have tried
var data = [7,10,8,6,8,2,5,2,2,2,3,4,4,10,6,10,5,10,0,2,9,5,7,0,5,0,5,7,8,7,5,1,9,1,5,7,10,3,7,0,2,10,8,8,1,1,0,7,6,3,1,10,0,8,3,5,5,10,3,8,4,0,3,5,8,7,0,0,0,8,7,3,2,1,0,6,7,7,3,7,5,0,1,0,0,4,9,4,4,3,0,2,10,9,0,2,7,6,5,9,0,6,7,9,0,6,2,7,1,6,5,1,3,1,0,5,0,4,2,7,2,0,7,0,3,10,6,3,4,9,9,10,10,9,5,9,8,5,3,2,5,9,5,10,10,7,8,3,8,9,5,3,9,0,1,2,6,4,1,9,0,5,0,5,6,4,1,1,3,8,2,0,7,6,4,0,6,5,5,6,4,6,6,3,3,5,5,8,7,3,4,7,5,6,1,4,2,4,7,9,8,4,0,3,8,6,2,6,10,8,10,1,10,8,6,8,8,3,8,7,8,6,7,10,9,10,0,7,7,8,1,10,1,4,7,10,7,0,9,6,3,3,3,1,4,3,4,5,0,5,9,0,6,1,8,5,1,8,9,4,0,4,5,4,3,8,2,10,5,9,4,9,5,3,6,5,7,2,2,7,1,1,9,7,4,1,7,5,2,10,6,4,3,5,7,2,4,5,7,3,2,0,8,5,5,7,8,2,9,5,9,1,2,0,7,8,10,5,6,9,2,5,1,9,4,0,7,4,4,7,10,0,8,6,0,6,4,4,8,3,9,1,3,0,0,4,4,2,5,3,3,6,1,4,6,6,4,9,7,0,2,2,1,2,2,6,2,0,2,5,7,8,8,1,7,3,9,0,0,0,9,4,9,8,9,7,10,8,2,0,5,10,10,0,1,7,5,9,2,8,10,10,4,6,6,6,10,10,5,1,5,2,1,9,3,2,5,3,1,3,10,7,1,3,5,3,0,6,7,5,1,10,5,9,0,9,2,3,0,10,0,6,9,8,3,8,7,0,10,4,2,2,5,6,7,0,10,10,9,9,8,6,10,5,9,0,6,4,8,5,0,4,4,4,1,8,3,0,9,3,3,9,1,5,0,10,1,1,3,10,6,5,8,0,6,5,2,7,10,4,2,0,10,1,7,6,2,0,1,6,10,10,6,6,10,1,4,7,5,6,5,4,1,5,6,9,1,8,4,7,2,8,5,9,7,3,9,2,2,8,10,6,10,10,7,8,7,2,6,8,7,4,6,1,5,9,2,0,5,4,4,0,4,5,7,2,3,8,9,1,0,8,6,10,8,3,7,3,3,6,7,2,7,6,6,2,8,6,9,6,8,5,4,8,4,6,7,9,8,7,8,5,8,2,0,8,5,0,5,2,8,4,7,0,7,1,4,8,10,8,2,5,10,9,1,9,3,0,6,9,2,10,5,1,4,0,4,9,1,1,3,5,0,5,5,2,5,1,1,7,0,2,6,8,10,7,9,3,0,9,4,2,4,6,2,2,9,2,7,3,6,6,9,2,2,0,2,9,1,5,7,10,10,1,8,5,9,9,4,1,7,1,0,0,6,7,7,7,2,9,9,2,10,5,4,2,3,10,9,9,7,1,1,6,8,4,9,6,7,4,9,4,2,7,6,2,6,0,1,5,5,8,9,5,1,7,8,7,3,2,3,1,1,2,5,6,4,10,8,10,3,3,1,0,6,7,0,7,4,8,4,7,6,0,7,1,2,3,10,4,1,10,7,9,4,7,7,10,10,10,6,8,9,7,3,10,9,0,3,6,2,10,5,3,6,8,5,0,2,3,1,6,9,10,9,10,7,5,8,7,4,4,3,10,2,3,4,3,10,8,5,9,8,5,6,2,4,9,1,5,0,7,1,1,4,4,10,4,7,8,8,9,7,1,9,5,5,4,3,0,0,9,5,6,3,3,4,6,1,2,6,2,8,4,10,0,9,1,10,2,7,3,6,3,9,2,3,5,7,8,1,1,9,3,4,6,7,6,2,2,8,0,10,3,3,5,7,4,1,3,9,5,4,3,3,2,9,8,7,8,7,6,8,7,7,1,2,10,10,2,9,3,2,3,2,9,9,0,3,0,4,9,6,0,1,6,9,5,8,7,9,5,6,8,3,5,3,4,9,8,0,3,4,8,6,9,4,7,1,9,8,0,4,8,1,0,7,3,3,1,6,9,9,5,4,3,8,8,9,10,4,9,0,7,8,6,9,8,4,10,4,1,2,5,4,0,6,4,1];

Just clear Interval when it reached the last element of the array. check out following code.
var draw = setInterval(function() {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y =next();
console.log(y) ;
if (i == data.length) {
clearInterval(draw);
return;
}
series.addPoint([x, y], false, true);
chart.redraw(false);
}, 1000/130);

Here I'm working on Highcharts time series chart with live streaming data, based on the sample jsfiddle. In the fiddle there shows 4 lines named as input1, input2, input3, & input 4 and it is updated with live random data but in my actual project the input values are updated via MQTT. Here I am adding points to chart with series[i].addPoint() method.I want to add some markers or symbols along with line if the value exceed a particular limit.

Use setState() method and utilize the tooltip. Then you can style the tooltip or the circle that encloses a point in focus with the API for the tooltip and have the styles or the tooltip symbol/html change according to the value on the chart with conditional statements.
See this answer: Highcharts - manually trigger hover event on a point

I am plotting live data in Highchart's(4.2.4) Line type chart for each second data i.e. 60 points for 1 min. and requirement is to collect each second data for long duration. I am using below code to add point in series. The number of series I have is 20. And for each series I have to add point per second. The turboThreshold set for each series is also around 2000. And slicing should be done after 1000 points data.
chart.series[0].addPoint(point, false, data > 1000?shift: false, false);
I see a very low performance my browser keeps hanging and also chart is very irresponsive after some time. What can I do for better performance? I have tried below stuff:
1) Off the animation for series :
plotOptions: {
series: {
animation:false,
states: {
hover: {
lineWidthPlus: 0
}
}
}
},
2) Turn off animation and redrawing on addpoint to the chart
3) Turn off markers for series
4) Included boost.js module in application
script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/boost.js"

Without your actual code I can only speculate what you're doing, but my assumption is you're trying to redraw the chart every time you add a point, that would be 20 redraws per second, which is pretty excessive and will probably take more than 1 second to complete the redraws which means there will be new points added while old ones are still being drawn. Set the redraw to false on adding points and manually redraw every second or at random.
Example code:
$(function() {
var series = function(i) {
return {
name: 'Random data '+i,
data: (function() {
// generate an array of random data
var data = [],
time = (new Date()).getTime(),
i;
for (i = -19; i <= 0; i += 1) {
data.push({
x: time + i * 1000,
y: Math.random()
});
}
return data;
}())
};
};

for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
var series = chart.series[i];
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time

series.addPoint([x, y], false, false,false);
}
chart.redraw();

NOTE
Because this is JavaScript it heavily depends on browser build/version and machine specs.

I am developing a dashboard, where there are 5 buttons, and on click of each button, corresponding chart is displayed in the same div.
The structure of my code is as follows :
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
function requestData() {
$.ajax({
url : ....,
success : function(){
.....
//Real Time Plotting of Data
chart.series[0].addPoint(eval(point), true, shift);
setTimeout(requestData, 2000);
}
});
}
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'chart',
defaultSeriesType: 'spline'
},
....
....
});
});
});
The Problem : On every click of the button, a parallel requestData() starts, multiple parallel threads run at the same time. This leads in random addPoint and increase in memory consumed.
Also, when checked with Highcharts.Chart in the console, after every click, a undefined objects adds up.
How do I restructure the code for optimum performance ?

Refer the code below, your high chart implement can be like this
$(function () {
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'spline',
animation: Highcharts.svg, // don't animate in old IE
marginRight: 10,
events: {
load: function () {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series[0];
setInterval(function () {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = Math.random();
series.addPoint([x, y], true, true);
}, 1000);
}
}
},
title: {
text: 'Live random data'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
tickPixelInterval: 150
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Value'
},
plotLines: [{

}]
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function () {
return '<b>' + this.series.name + '</b><br/>' +
Highcharts.dateFormat('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', this.x) + '<br/>' +
Highcharts.numberFormat(this.y, 2);
}
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
data: (function () {
// generate an array of random data
var data = [],
time = (new Date()).getTime(),
i;
for (i = -19; i <= 0; i += 1) {
data.push({
x: time + i * 1000,
y: Math.random()
});
}
return data;
}())
}]
});
});
});
Basically, you do not need to make your arrangement to live plotting, high chart has this option UPDATE
Refer live fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/anilk/3u0ng35s/
Replace below data option to your ajax call
data: (function () {
// generate an array of random data
var data = [],
time = (new Date()).getTime(),
i;
for (i = -19; i <= 0; i += 1) {
data.push({
x: time + i * 1000,
y: Math.random()
});
}
return data;
}

I have data being put on an api every 30 seconds on a backend. On the frontend I am using highcharts to visualize the data and a setInterval setup to retrieve the new data every 30 seconds. My problem is that on that setInterval, the line graph disappears or does not draw to the next new dot. Does anyone now why this is?

Your test.y is the problem. It returns undefined after one interval. Somehow BPM is changing in it's structure - changing each object from {x,y} to [0,1] - therefore I used:
y = (test.y !== undefined)? test.y : test[1];
to either get the previous structure or the new. I also set the interval to 3 seconds for you to see the difference easier. Here's the DEMO.
