Use this procedure to set the time frame for reports containing captured data for various network operations and events. By default, ExtremeCloud IQ presents data captured for a 24-hour time frame, with hourly updates. In most cases, a graph with a colored timeline displays the captured data. The color key for timelines and the type of data captured on a timeline appears above the right-hand side of the time frame. In some cases, ExtremeCloud IQ presents data in other formats, such as reports or other types of graphical representations.

  1. From the Time Range drop-down menu, choose one of the following options:
    • Select Day to see the captured data in on an hourly basis. Select an interval of either 1, 2, 4, 8, or 24 hours to narrow the data capture time frame.
    • Select Week to see the captured data on a daily basis. Select an interval of either 1, 2, or 7 days to narrow the data capture time frame.
    • Select Month to see the data on a weekly or monthly basis. Select an interval of either 7, 14, or 30 days to narrow the data capture time frame.
    • Select Custom to open the Calendar and set a start date and time, then an end date and time, not exceeding a 30-day time period. Select OK.
  2. Narrow the time frame using one of the following methods. The specific method available depends on the UI.
    • Click inside the graph and drag left or right to define a time frame. The adjusted time frame appears in grey in the graph.
    • Customize the time frame by dragging the left or right slider. Move the time frame as a block to a different part of the timeline by selecting a point within the shaded block.
  3. To customize the view for graphs that display data on a timeline, do the following:
    • Click on a timeline to view data for a 30 minute period along the timeline. The adjusted time frame appears grey in the graph.
    • Click on a timeline to view data captured at a precise time.
  4. To reset a narrowed time frame, select either Clear Selection (where available), one of the interval controls, or an option from the Time Range drop-down menu.
  5. Select the Chart context menu to download the graph in your preferred format.
