Time Range and Interval¶
The time range and interval controls appear on the dashboard and on every measurement page. They determine which period of data is shown and how it is aggregated.
Time range¶
The time range defines the start and end of the period you want to view. You can choose from predefined ranges (e.g., last 24 hours, last 7 days, last 30 days) or set a custom range by specifying explicit start and end dates.
Hover over the help button in the time range picker for tips on choosing an appropriate range for your analysis.
The selected time range applies to both the KPI charts and the measurements table.
Interval¶
The interval controls how data points are grouped in charts. Available intervals include:
- Minute
- Hour
- Day
- Week
- Month
- Year
Choose a finer interval (e.g., minute or hour) when looking at a short time range, and a coarser interval (e.g., day or month) for longer periods.
Like filters, the time range and interval are stored in the URL, so bookmarked views preserve these settings.
Warning
If you pick a too fine-grained interval for a long time range, we will automatically adjust it to prevent performance issues. We will show a warning message when this happens.
