How do I specify a time resolution?

Normally, the time resolution adjusts itself, seemingly trying to keep the number of bars shown below some "reasonable" limit. So if I search "The last 30 days", I will get bars by the day. If I search "The last 4 hours", I will bars by the minute.

How do I adjust that? I want to have a per second resolution, but over a larger time span than just a few minutes.

Hi letharion,

it depends on how you show your bars using graphs... if you're using timechart simply do something like this:

 your base search | timechart span=1sec count

this will give you for each second a bar of all event counts. If you're using chart or stats you can do something like this:

 your base search | bucket _time span=1sec | chart count over _time
 your base search | bucket _time span=1sec | stats count by _time

hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
