== Setting the time filter
|
2019-09-25 17:17:48 +02:00
|
|
|
You can
|
2016-10-31 15:13:41 +01:00
|
|
|
set a time filter if your index contains time-based events and a time-field is
|
|
|
|
configured for the selected index pattern.
|
2019-09-25 17:17:48 +02:00
|
|
|
By default, the time filter is set to the last 15 minutes. You can use the time
|
|
|
|
picker to change the time filter, or select a specific time
|
|
|
|
range in the histogram.

|
|
|
|
* *Commonly used* to choose a time range from options such as *Last 15 minutes*, *Today*, and *Week to date*.
|
|
|
|
