== Setting the time filter
|
|
The time filter restricts the search results to a specific time period. You can
|
|
set a time filter if your index contains time-based events and a time-field is
|
|
configured for the selected index pattern.
|
|
|
|
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 interval or time
|
|
range in the histogram at the top of the page.

=== Filtering with the time picker
|
|
|
|
You can specify a time filter in one of four ways:
|
|
|
|
* *Quick*. Click your desired time window from the options listed.
|
|
* *Relative*. Specify a time filter relative to the current time. You can
|
|
specify the end time relative to the current time. Relative times can be in the past or future.
|
|
* *Absolute*. Specify both the start and end times for the time filter. You can
|
|
adjust the time by editing the *To* and *From* fields.
|
|
* *Recent*. Click one of the times from your list of recently used time filters.

=== Filtering from the histogram
|
|
|
|
You can set a time filter from the histogram in one of two ways:
|
|
|
|
* Click the bar that represents the time interval you want to zoom in on.
|
|
* Click and drag to view a specific timespan. You must start the selection with
|
|
the cursor over the background of the chart--the cursor changes to a plus sign
|
|
when you hover over a valid start point.
