== Set the time filter
|
|
If your index contains time-based events, and a time-field is configured for the
|
|
selected <<index-patterns, index pattern>>, set a time filter that displays only the data within the
|
|
specified time range.
|
|
|
|
You can use the time filter to change the time range, or select a specific time
|
|
range in the histogram.
