How can I change to a logarithmic timescale on the x-axis of the timeline?

I would like to change the x-axis to a logarithmic timescale of the timeline like on the y-axis. So, for instance, the first inch would be the first 10 seconds, the second inch would be the first 100 seconds etc. This way I could see what is happening right now as well as over the past day/week/month all on one timeline.

So if traffic appears as a diagonal line from upper left to lower right then I know that what I am seeing this minute is typical of the past hour, day, week, month etc.

If this doesn't exist, where should I go to create such a timeline?

There is no option for a logarithmic x-axis in the standard visualizations. If you want to build your own, see the "Developing Views and Apps for Splunk Web" docs at http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.1.1/AdvancedDev/CustomVizTutorial.
