I have chart set up like Howie, but … How do I get values to show up? I just added the chart and rMSSD and SDNN, but no values and I have at least a week of values. I see the chart, but no values. What am I missing here? Where is the magic?
Can you post a screenshot of your custom chart settings?
Do you see the HRV values in the Activity Calendar in the Wellness section?
where is this Wellness section? HOw do I get there? Maybe that’s my problem. BTW, I just ran across intervals.icu yesterday on my day off work. It looks great. As I explain in another question: looks like need an Activity Type of HRV to get this to work? I just see HRV integrated into Fitness on calendar … I’m at a break point in training … maybe big training later today - the rain and electric power blackout crisis have ended … here’s what it looks like. I’m exploring HRV and intervals.icu. I have Garmin and Training Peaks. May drop Training Peaks when renewal comes as intervals.icu looks good and does what I want, maybe?
When click on HRV Activity this is what I see … similar to what Training Peaks shows
Also, I did just get Garmin to send all Wellness data and loaded into intervals.icu. where is it?
Wellness data is shown within the red circle in the image below. You can click on those areas for each day to see (and chose) your desired wellness data. There’s no HRV data being shown but maybe you need to chose those fields.
Highly recommended to drop TP. Intervals.icu is less expensive and offers much more. 
…Plus, there’s an active forum for help. 
Thanks for pointing out Wellness to me. 
Now I see it. I clicked on wellness data and see a popup box, but no HRV data available.
This is why there is none in the Fitness chart I added. This added chart does show other variables that have data when I add them so …
How do I recover the HRV data from the HRV FIT files that are arriving from Garmin or are they sending this data. The data is from the “HRV Analysis” add on 
which is free, or “beer money.” HRV Analysis App – McTernan I’ll ask the creator of “HRV Analysis” if the data is sent from Garmin unless someone can figure out how to retrieve it?
I’ll pay some for “HRV Analysis” and for intervals.icu if I get them working the way I want, eh? I do agree that intervals.icu is as good as Training Peaks if not better for someone like myself who is just their own trainer, keeping track of fitness, and learning how to improve it with the help of Zwift and other hints on the internet - definitely, not a future star, but keeping fit and keeping the pear belly away, eh? I’ve had Training Peaks for a few years, since before intervals.icu was popular or well known at all. Training Peaks has helped me keep the over-training in line - knowing when to back off! Zwift and Training Peaks are currently helping me learn how to Run again as well as Bicycle which I like as I live in this cold place that is nice to jog around in the winter … and summer … and all the time.
Does that app mean you have to record an activity? And then it gets uploaded to Intervals?
If that is the case, it won’t parse the HRV data from the activity to the Wellness data fields.
To get HRV data in the wellness fields you need to either manually add it or use an app which has a direct integration (the settings page will show you which ones currently do)
I used to have to manually add the HRV values when I used an IQ App on my Garmin watch to record HRV. I now have to still add then manually as I use EliteHRV which does not have an integration.
In the wellness capture dialog you can click “Fields” to choose which fields you want to capture. On the calendar itself do Options → Wellness and then choose which fields to display on the calendar. You can also download a CSV of all your wellness data, make bulk edits and upload.

When I create a custom chart for activity data, I can’t edit or delete it later. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong, but I can’t find the option to do it.
Make sure the chart is visible, click on its title on the left of the chart and then remove it with the trash bin icon.
I did notice that for some trace(s), there is a problem. Distance for example, doesn’t show a title and you can’t click on anything to pop up the edit dialog. Untill you make a selection and then the distance is indicated at the place of the chart title. Click on that to pop-up the edit dialog.

Thank you both for the reply, it was just what I was looking for.

Maybe I’m missing something but how can we create “custom” charts, in my case I’d like to create a vam / hr ratio sort of thing. I don’t see the paste button where the json is supposed to go also.
On the activity page you can add VAM as a chart, but it has to follow the present x-axis which is time.
On the fitness page and compare page, VAM isn’t available as a parameter to chart.
Don’t think what you ask can be done at this moment.
Understood, thank you ! I thought it was possible to plot that but I didn’t knew where to look at.
It is probably not useful for a lot of people but it would be nice to have for mountain runners / skiers as vam is a good proxy for effort level.
@david, is it possible that custom activity charts for running activities are broken at the moment?
I have created a chart - first it worked but now it does not show properly any more (pace trace missing). Clicking the chart title does not bring up the edit dialogue, so I cannot even edit or delete.
See screenhots - I have made several tries…
Activity: Intervals.icu
I have done more experimenting and I am seeing all kinds of weird behaviour, so have turned this into a bug report here: Custom charts bug (running activities)
I think this is fixed now. I definitely fixed the issue on the other thread so hopefully it is the same. Tx for all the detailed info there.
Thanks, it is fixed. Glad to be able to help you help me 
Asking again in case something has changed, would it be possible to create a custom VAM/HR chart while keeping time as x-axis ?
