Report Input Description of Values
timeRange Specify a period of time to report from. TimeRange for a
metric observation can be specified in various ways, but it is
always composed of a range of date-time objects, and a
granularity. Select:
• TimeRange Type: Choose one:
- Last N (to display the time range for the last <number>
<unit>) For example, last 2 months.
- Calendar Aligned (enter a time range and offset number)
- Custom (choose the date range on the calendar)
• Unit: select the timeframe (e.g. Year, Month, etc)
• Number/Offset: enter a value for the timerange.
• Granularity: Choose one:
- RAW—data observations are shown in the metric history
with the smallest available granularity, or a number of
milliseconds, for example, 300,000 for 5 minutes.
- AUTO—the system will pick the best granularity based
on the time range. For example, a numeric value of -2
- a specific time interval from the drop-down (e.g. 1
minute).
