Time Widget

Control the data display range of the current Explorer through the Time Widget. You can filter data by manually entering a time range, quickly selecting a preset time range, or customizing a time range.

Preset Time Ranges

The system provides various preset quick time ranges. Click "More" to select more time ranges for data viewing. Preset time ranges include:

Dynamic Time

Includes four units: minute, day, week, and month, such as today, yesterday, this week, last week, etc.

Static Time

Includes two formats:

  • Date

  • Timestamp

Date

The static date-time format supports various formats, with time precision down to milliseconds. Separators include ~, /, -, or ,, and spaces are allowed before and after. For example:

  • 2025/08/04 09:30:00~2025/08/04 10:00:00

  • 2025/08/04 09:30:00.123-2025/08/04 10:00:00.456

  • 2025/08/04 09:30:00,2025/08/04 10:00:00

Timestamp

The timestamp range supports millisecond-level input. Separators include ~, -, or ,, and spaces are allowed before and after. For example:

  • 1659576600000~1659578400000

  • 1659576600000-1659578400000

  • 1659576600000,1659578400000

Note

  • The time format must comply with the HH:MM:SS standard.

  • The Time Widget's tooltip and input box are synchronized in real-time. When the input time range exceeds four digits (including time intervals, absolute times, and timestamps), the tooltip will display -.

Custom Time Range

In addition to preset time ranges, you can click "Custom Time" to manually enter a specific time range. Supports combinations of date and time. The manual entry standards are as follows:

  • Date separators: Support "/" and "-" (e.g., 2025/10/10 or 2025-10-10)

  • Time format: Supports HH:MM:SS or HH:MM (24-hour format)

  • Combination format: Date and time can be combined, separated by a space (e.g., 2025/10/10 16:14:20)

Note

  • The start and end times of the custom time range must be entered in the HH:MM:SS format, such as 15:01:09.

  • The query history of custom time ranges can be viewed in Custom Time Query History, with a maximum of the last 20 records. Click any history record to quickly filter the corresponding data.

Time Range in URL

In addition to selecting a time range through the Time Widget, you can also modify the time parameter directly in the browser's URL to query data. Supports four units: second (s), minute (m), hour (h), and day (d). For example:

  • time=30s

  • time=20m

  • time=6h

  • time=2d

After modifying time=2h in the browser, the Explorer will display data from the last 2 hours.

Note

  • Each unit can only be used independently and cannot be combined.

  • When the selected time range is greater than or equal to 1 day, the Explorer will automatically stop playback mode.

Lock Time Range

By clicking in the Time Widget, you can set a fixed query time range. Once set, all Explorers and dashboards will display the current time range by default.

For example, if the time is locked to "Last 2 hours", all Explorers and dashboards will display data according to this time range.

Timezone

Set the current display timezone in the Time Widget to view data in the corresponding workspace timezone.

  1. Go to Time Widget > Timezone Settings.

  2. In the Modify Timezone window, "Browser Time" is displayed by default, which is the time detected by the local browser.

  3. Select a timezone.

  4. Confirm.

Note

  • Only the Owner and Administrator of the current workspace have the configuration permission for Workspace Timezone.

  • If the workspace owner or administrator has set a "Workspace Timezone", members can select the configured workspace timezone.

  • After setting a new timezone, all workspaces where your account is located will display according to the new timezone. Please proceed with caution.

Workspace Timezone

To ensure that workspace members can analyze data and troubleshoot issues under a unified timezone, you can configure a unified timezone for the workspace.

  1. Click Manage > Workspace Settings > Workspace Timezone.

  2. Enter the settings popup.

  3. Select a timezone.

  4. Confirm.

After configuration, other members of the workspace can select the configured workspace timezone, and their timezone status will follow the configured timezone.

Note

  • Only the Owner and Administrator of the current workspace have the configuration permission for Workspace Timezone.

  • After setting the workspace timezone, it will not automatically change the members' timezone. Members need to manually select the workspace timezone.

  • If the workspace timezone is deleted, members who have selected this timezone will automatically switch back to browser time.

Auto Refresh

"Auto Refresh" allows you to quickly obtain real-time data. Supported refresh frequencies include: 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour.

If auto refresh is not needed, select Off.

Time Widget VS Refresh Frequency

  • "Refresh Frequency" does not affect the changes of "Time Widget".

  • If the selected time range exceeds 1 hour or is an absolute time, the refresh frequency may be affected.

  • If a relative time range less than 1 hour is re-selected, the refresh frequency will automatically revert to the last configuration.

  • When selecting "Relative Time", even if the refresh frequency is "Off", modifying query conditions (such as adding or removing filters in the Explorer, adjusting search box filter conditions, or switching view variables in dashboards/notes) will still trigger a re-query.

Note

All Explorers share one refresh configuration. Changing the refresh frequency will affect all Explorers.

Playback

After selecting a time range and executing a query, click the ▶️ button to quickly return to the most recent specified time range.

For example: Select [40m][2025/10/20 11:30:10 ~ 2025/10/20 12:10:10], click "Playback", and it will return to "Last 40 minutes".

Quick Zoom

In actual data query scenarios, you may often need to adjust the time range (timerange) to observe the overall trend of data or locate specific anomalies. Click "Quick Zoom", and the system will take the center of the current time range as the benchmark, expanding the time range with one click, thereby reducing the steps of manually adjusting the time range.

Zoom Logic

Click "Quick Zoom", and the timerange will expand to 3 times the original.

  • First, push back 1 timerange from the current end time, with the latest being the current time, to get the EndTime.

  • Then, push back 3 timeranges from the EndTime to get the StartTime.

  • When querying relative time, directly expand 3 times.

Use Cases

Assume the current Explorer query time is 11:00:

  • Scenario 1: Need to query 10:20-10:30, current timerange = 10m, after clicking "Quick Zoom", the system queries 10:10-10:40.

  • Scenario 2: Need to query 10:30-10:50, current timerange = 20m, after clicking "Quick Zoom", the system queries 10:00-11:00.

  • Scenario 3: Query "Last 30 minutes", after clicking "Quick Zoom", the system queries "Last 90 minutes".
