Using timechart to show the number of users in the busiest minute against a one hour span

Hi,

I'm after some assistance.

I am trying to capture the peak number of concurrent users in a single minute block using timecharts.  I can do this one minute blocks no problem.  

Where this gets complicated is that I have been given the requirement that I should be able to change the timechart span from 1m to 1h and identify the peak minute with the highest number of users within each hour (if hour selected) and display the number of users for that peak minute (frather than the peak number of users for that hour).

Can anyone assist me with this, or advise if it's even possible?

Thanks

Thanks, I hadn't considered that.  I'll give that a try.

Assuming you have a count per minute, you can add another timechart command

| timechart span=1h max(count) as peak_per_minute
