6.4.3. Set the dashboard time range
Each dashboard has a time range selector that determines the window of time of interest. All panels respect this time selection, and the data in all the panels on the dashboard reflect data for this specific window, making it easy to compare and understand the data being shown.
The time range selector is located in the top right corner of the dashboard navigation bar. By default, cPacket dashboards are designed to display data for the last 24 hours. You can use the time range selector to override the default setting for all charts and tables within a dashboard. Once you've selected a time interval, it will remain in effect until you intentionally change it or navigate to a new dashboard workflow.
Change the current time range
The current time range shows the time range currently displayed in the dashboard you are viewing. Hover your cursor over the field to see the exact time stamps included in the range along with their source, such as the local browser time.
Select the current time range to modify it. You can change the current time using a relative time range, such as the last 15 minutes, or an absolute time range, such as 2024-07-15 00:00:00 to 2024-07-17 23:59:59.
