Changing the Time Range for a Custom Metric Chart

Set the bounds, or timestamps, of the metric data that you want for the metric chart on the Metrics Explorer page in the Console. By default, charts show the last hour of metric data.

Note

The maximum time range returned for a query depends on the resolution. For more information about resolution, see Selecting a Nondefault Resolution for a Query.

For information about directly editing MQL expressions or changing queries by using the CLI or API, see Selecting a Nondefault Time Range for a Query.

  1. Create a basic query on the Metrics Explorer page.
  2. Select a period of time from Quick Selects.
