Most of our visualizations are created with the Date Histogram set to Auto. There are times in the Dashboard we would like to see a specific interval that may not line up with the auto interval decision made. These desires are sometimes fleeting and not worthy of modifying the underlying visualizations.
For example sometimes we want to quickly see daily intervals for the last 7 days however the auto interval will bucket 3 hours. Last 30 days does 12 hour buckets.
If we could have an option, in area of the Dashboard Date/Time or Refresh selections or even a JSON filter, to temporarily define a value to be used for intervals by all visualizations on the Dashboard that have Interval to Auto it would be great.
Example:
Visualizations 1 & 2 have Date Historgram set to Auto
Visualization 3 has Date Histogram set to 12 hours
Feature not set
Dashboard - Last 7 days
Visualization 1 - Displayed in 3 hour intervals
Visualization 2 - Displayed in 3 hour intervals
Visualization 3 - Displayed in 12 hours intervals
Feature set to 1 day
Dashboard - Last 7 days
Visualization 1 - Displayed in 1 day intervals
Visualization 2 - Displayed in 1 day intervals
Visualization 3 - Displayed in 12 hours intervals
This is similar to Change visualization from dashboard (edit in place) #5066 however this is more of a light touch. We don't necessarily want these visualizations changed permanently. Nor do we want to force modifications to the saved visualizations every time we want to tweak the view.
We definitely want to maintain the Auto interval settings for the bulk of our time in the Dashboard however have an option to override this temporarily. Visualizations with interval values set to something other than Auto could be left alone.
Thanks for your consideration.
