Use earliest as -1h@h and latest as @h

Go to Save As in the upper right corner after you have a search in the search bar and select Alert

There will be 2 fields Earliest and Latest

The Earliest field should have -1h@h
The Latest field should have now

This will set a 1 hour window of the previous hour

You will also see the timeranges populate once you enter in those values

If I use latest time as now, then it will search for the data from 9:00-10:15 right? I just need 1 hr data
