@kyvislabs This might be good to add into the OP.
PSA: the simplest way to make a chart is to use the online Apex Chart editor:
Copy the code output of this into props.options in the Ignition component, and make sure you change the props.type to the right chart type
Edit: is @kyvislabs still around?? maybe @paul-griffith or someone from IA can add this link and brief description of how to use it into the OP? 
Edit2: This tool no longer seems to give you the chart configuration options to copy any more…
