How to use Time modifiers in mstats command?

I want to  use relative time modifiers (earliest/latest) in mstats command. Not sure how to use the time format.

 

 

| mstats earliest=-1h avg(xxx) WHERE index=xxx

 

 

This is failing since it is in relative time format. Documentation mentions about 'timeformat' attribute but I am not sure how to use it for relative time.

You need to put earliest and latest as part of where condition.

| mstats latest(_value) AS val WHERE index="myindex" earliest=-1h@h latest=now BY host span=15m

The usage for this is as follows.  Hope this helps.

|mstats latest(_value) AS foo WHERE index="some_metrics_index" earliest=-300s latest=now() metric_name=some.metric BY host span=1m
