Grafana provides numerous ways to manage the time ranges of the data being visualized, both at the Dashboard-level and the Panel-level.
Dashboard time picker
In the top right, you have the master Dashboard time picker (it's inbetween the 'Zoom out' and the 'Refresh' links).
From this dropdown you can:
- Specify an exact time range (eg. "October 13 12:01 to October 14 12:05)
- Choose a relative time (eg. "Last 15 minutes","Last 1 week")
- Configure auto-refresh options
All of this applies to all Panels in the Dashboard (except those with Panel Time Overrides enabled)
Customize relative time and auto auto-refresh options
It's possible to customize the options displayed for relative time and the auto-refresh options.
From Dashboard setttings, click the Timepicker tab. From here you can specify the relative and auto refresh intervals. The Timepicker tab settings are saved on a per Dashboard basis.
Override
In dashboard settings, Time Picker tab you can add or remove the relative time intervals and refresh intervals
that should be available in the time picker dropdown.
Panel time override
In Grafana 2.0, it's now possible for individual Panels to override the Dashboard time picker. Please check out the whats new in 2.0 guide for further information
