Before You Start

First, you must have created the set of Time Intervals to use before a Time Interval Configuration can be properly configured (see Add or manage Time Interval).

Where the configuration is used What to set
Log Views Name, the Time Intervals users may pick, and optionally Allow a Detailed Time Search in Log Views
Non-Events Monitoring Allow a Detailed Time Search in Log Views must be checked (see below)
Recurring User Notifications Select the configuration in the User Notification's Recurrence setting to make it recur; only intervals of 1 day or longer apply

Add Time Interval Configuration

Click the Add Time Interval Configuration button to create a new Time Interval Configuration for use with selected Log Views.

The editor of a Time Interval Configuration; pick the Time Intervals in the panel on the right.

  • Name: A Time Interval Configuration must have a name. This name facilitates the selection in a Log View.
  • Description: A user-friendly description.
  • Allow a Detailed Time Search in Log Views: When checked, the end-user can override the pre-defined Time Interval(s) and use a custom date and time as the search criteria. It also lifts the limit on how far back users can search; see How the limit is enforced.

Important

If the Time Interval Configuration is to be used in a Non-Events Monitoring Configuration, you must allow the detailed time search, and perform the actual search NOT using one of the pre-defined time intervals. The API URL you copy must use a custom time format.

Manage Time Intervals

A Time Interval Configuration consists of a set of Time Intervals. Click Edit on the Time Intervals panel to open Assign Time Intervals to Time Interval Configuration and change the selection.

Assign Time Intervals to Time Interval Configuration dialog for Contoso: Order Desk ranges with the Add, All, and Selected tabs, four of eight Time Intervals ticked, and an Edit button per row (7.12)
Check the Time Intervals that users may choose from in the Log View.

  • All and Selected: tick the Time Intervals to include, and check the result on Selected.
  • Add: creates a new Time Interval right in the dialog and adds it to the selection.
  • Edit on a row: changes that Time Interval everywhere it is used, not only in this configuration.

There is no default setting: the Log View starts on the shortest range, ordered by Unit and then by Quantity.

Save

You must click 'Save' or 'Save and close' for changes to persist. A Log View picks up the change the next time its page loads.

Save keeps the editor open; Save and close returns to the list.

Then assign the configuration on the Search criteria tab of a Log View, see Time Interval Configuration.
