Hi All,

I am in need of your help. I am building a dashboard and included time range picker as input.

I have hidden some of the options in time range picker (relative panel, date range panel, realtime panel etc)

I am trying to add new time option under presets (last 15 days). Please guide me how to achieve this

Hi @RanjiRaje,

to create time presets you have to go in [Settings > User Interface > Time Ranges > new Time Range] and add the speifications of your new time range:

  • name. name of the new time range, unique but not relevant,
  • label: label displayed in the Tme Picker,
  • Order: position in the Presets list,
  • earliest: earliest time,
  • latest. latest time.

Remeber to assign the correct grants to the new time range, to be displayed by the correct roles of users.

For more infos see at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.4/Search/Selecttimerangestoapply#Customize_the_list...

Ciao.

Hi Sir, thanks for your reply. I tried with the above steps and can see the newly added time range in splunk web which is not required.

I need this "Last 15 days" time range (under time range picker input) under presets only in my dashboard.

Is there any XML that i can use to achieve this. Please suggest

Hi @RanjiRaje,

this is the only way to create time presets.

If you want that his preset is visible only for your role, you have to add specific grants to this role.
