Zooming In / Out of a Time Period

From the main graph or zoom-in graph (below the main graph), you can zoom into any time period, so that you can see a more detailed breakdown of events over a smaller period of time. For example, a search that runs for a time period of seven days shows the distribution of events that match the search criteria, per day. You can then zoom into any time period (day) to see the distribution of events during that day, and you can zoom in further to see the distribution of events in a specific hour on that day. The zoom-in graph highlights the zoomed-in time-period relative to the search context in the original time period of the search query. 

At any point, you can zoom out to re-display the graphs resulting from the original search query.

To zoom into a time period:

  1. On the time axis of the graph (either the main graph or zoom-in graph), hover on a time until a vertical line appears through the time. 

  2. Drag the vertical line left/right to the beginning/end of the time period.
    The selected time period is highlighted in blue.

  3. Release the mouse button.
    The search on the zoomed-in time period runs and the results appear in the main graph.
    The time period of the zoomed in area is highlighted in the Zoom-In graph below the main graph.
    The Zoom Out button appears, enabling you to zoom out to the original display. The time period of the search is automatically changed to Custom.

  4. You can repeatedly zoom in (steps 1 to 3) to see a more detailed distribution of events.     

To zoom out:

  • In the graph, click the Zoom Out button.
    The original graph is displayed for the time period that you selected for the search query. At this point, the Zoom Out button is no longer displayed.
