Quickly zoom into peaks on a histogram #1684

Open cstuder opened 9 years ago

cstuder commented 9 years ago

Logging all errors on our servers, I'm usually interested in the peaks:

There's currently no quick way to zoom into these peaks from the dashboard or on the search results, other first replay the search, then switching to a smaller time interval and select a new time range, repeating this procedure until the exact location of the peak can be found.

Feature request: Clicking on a row in a histogram (Instead of click-dragging a time range) immediately should select the time range of the row and possibly show it with the next smaller time interval.

Hi,

Thank you for your request.

On the search results page it is already possible to narrow down certain time frame by selecting the part of the histogram you are interested in. That should already help to select the time range where the peaks happened. Does that solve the problem you are experiencing?

No, I tried to explain this in the paragraph below the image.

Currently in order to locate the peak, I have to do the following: Starting from the dashboard, the graph shows an hourly count over the last 7 days, I replay the search. Then I have to drag-select the approximate time range from the histogram. Then click to submit the search. Since the control isn't very precise (Just noticed that this a Chrome problem, will open a separate issue for this...), I might have to re-select a time range, click to search again, until I arrive a the peak.

The way I'm using Graylog now, I would be way quicker if I could just click on a column on the dashboards graphs and instantly go to a search with this date range (The mouse cursor already behaves like it's a link, but has no click event attached to it.)

Hi, basically you select the time range and with the "klick" selecting the range the search should be submited as well. So you save the extra klick for the search after you picked the time range.

I would like to see that feature as well.
