This tells you sourcetypes which are new in the last week ( 7 days):

| metadata type=sourcetypes 
| eval firstAgoSeconds=now()-firstTime 
| where firstAgoSeconds < (7 * 24 * 60 * 60)
| convert timeformat="%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S" ctime(firstTime) ctime(lastTime) ctime(recentTime)

| metadata type=sourcetypes index="*"
| addinfo
| where (firstTime > info_min_time AND firstTime < info_max_time)

The above helps when you want to filter the value selected from TimeRangepicker.
