Time range in the Splunk Metrics Workspace

To help you compare time series, all charts in the workspace show the same time range. Hover over any chart to view a shared hairline.

The default time range for time series is one hour. Adjust the time range to gain more insight from your charts. If you notice a significant change in your data around an approximate time, narrow the time range to refine your analysis. If you want to see a broader selection of data points, expand the time range to show trends over a longer period of time.

Modifying the workspace time range adjusts the portion of the index that you are analyzing. This change affects how aggregations are calculated on charts. For more information about how the time range affects data point calculations, see Analytics in the Metrics Workspace.
