Span & timepicker

KarunK — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 07:25:47 GMT

Hi All,

I would like to give the users an option/control for span in a pull-down based on the value of the time-range picker. This is to prevent the users from using 5min window on 30 day search as the results get truncated in time-charts.

Any Ideas ???

Last 24 hours -> span=5min

Last 7days    -> span=1hr

Last 30days   -> span=1day

etc etc etc

Thanks for your help

Regards

As a different idea, have you considered giving them control over the number of bins rather than the span?

No that wont work for us, we are quite a time dependent - internet traffic application. So we prefer a time based reports.
