Managing custom dates

enables you to define custom sets of date ranges, and anchor them to a specific date and time. For real-time filters, you can anchor the filters to today, or to now.

You can then use these custom sets of date ranges on dashboards to filter time-based data, and help you analyze streaming input.

To use the custom daterange interface, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Gear icon to open the Administration menu, and select Custom Dates.
  2. In the Manage Custom Dateranges interface, note the available actions:
    • Click New Custom Daterange to create a new asset. See, Creating new custom dates.
    • Click the Pencil icon to edit the parameters of a set of dateranges, or to start the cloning process. See, Cloning custom dates.
    • Click the Trashcan icon to delete the asset. See, Deleting custom dates.
