What does this control do?
Time Selector
Use this control to specify the length of time for which you want to view statistics data. Time selection options become available as your system gathers data, over time. Data is displayed from the instant the last refresh occurred, back to time interval you specify. For example, if the last refresh occurred at 11:00, and the Time Selector is set to 30 minutes, the charts display data from 10:30 to 11:00.
Custom Time Range
Use this control to focus on a specific date and time to display data.
Alternatively, you can click on the chart axis to specify the focus. Click on a point in the axis and drag in the direction that you want to view. As you drag, a highlighted window shows what you have selected for the time selector focus, and a small magnifying glass icon appears. When you have the time selector focus you want, click the magnifying glass.
Refresh Interval
Use this control to specify how frequently the data on this page is refreshed. Click the icon to trigger an immediate refresh of the data on the screen.
