Timeline - Custom Visualization: Can full date time DD/MM/YY HH:MM tooltip options be added?

snoobzilla — Mon, 01 Aug 2016 20:18:59 GMT

We have timelines that span 30 days with events we want to see begin/end down to the minute or second on Tool Tips.

Please add options for Tooltips time format:
DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS
DD/MM/YY HH:MM

Cool visualization, but need more control. Also see other requests for legend and left label width control.

Hi @snoobzilla,
Thanks for your suggestions. I have passed your request along to our engineering team to consider for an upcoming release. Please stay tuned!

Yes, it is possible to add. you just need to edit the .js file for the app under location :

Splunk_HOME\etc\apps\timeline_app\appserver\static\visualizations\timeline\src\timeline.js

You'll have to play around with those locations for time_format.

Don't forget to run "npm run build" after you modify the JS. And disable caching on Splunk.

I'd like YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM as an option, please.

Yes!! it is possible. Make changes to two .js files as below:

\Splunk\etc\apps\timeline_app\appserver\static\visualizations\timeline\src\timline.js
\Splunk\etc\apps\timeline_app\appserver\static\visualizations\timeline\visualization.js

save files and Logout and re-login splunk to reflect the changes.

In this case I used '%a %H : %M' as desired time format. Any format can be used including "DD/MM/YY HH:MM"
