Time range pan and zoom
Time range pan and zoom
We’re excited to introduce time range pan and zoom in Grafana dashboards and panels!
We’ve added new ways to travel through time in dashboards and panels to make exploring your metrics and data more intuitive and efficient.
Use dashboard-level controls to jump one full time span backward or forward. For more precise time travel, we’ve now made the x-axis of time series visualizations interactive at the panel level as well. Just click and drag the x-axis timestamps horizontally to move forward or backward in time; then release to update the dashboard time range.
To zoom in on a time range, click and drag in the visualization area from a start time to any end time, and then release. To zoom out, double-click on the visualization area to expand the time range by half on either side of the center, showing twice as much time.
Finally, two new time range keyboard shortcuts have been added to Grafana. Typing t+ zooms in to half the current time range, and conversely t- zooms out to twice the current time range.
Time range pan and zoom applies to all visualizations that support time series data:
- Candlestick
- Heatmap
- State timeline
- Status history
- Time series
