Kibana: Customizable timepicker

[w33ble]

_Last quarter_ is a prime example, but I'm sure there are others. Basically anything that's not simply now-X.

It might also be nice to allow users to specify important time definitions for them, and save them as shortcuts

This is an extension of #2659

Another useful one would be to set a starting date like: "From: DATE until now"

[w33ble]

@raphi that's a good point - we have a _From INTERVAL to now_ but, not from a given date. That could be useful to add to the relative time filter.

Maybe this is implied, but just being able to remove some of the default options would be very useful. For example, I don't want anyone querying for "year to date" or "last 1 / 2 / 5 years", but anything 7 days or less is fine. Just being able to disable the undesirable ones would be cool.

[SleeperSmith]

@cwneal actually to expand on that, it'd be great if the timepicker can enforce a max limit on the time interval too. So not just a "disabled" option but an outright hard limit on anything you can do in kibana.

+1 Use case: Filter out specific time ranges (maintenance windows) from the selected time range. Currently, the user will have to write a query string or DSL style query to filter out ranges. For business users/executives, it will be helpful to provide this as part of a customizable timepicker where they can add range(s) to filter out, etc..

An inverse of what @ppf2 mentioned is allowing to show discontinuous time series only focusing on specific business hours (e.g. 9-4pm trading hours). Otherwise, time series graphs show long periods of flat lines, taking up valuable horizontal real estate.

+1. My users are asking for this, too. They put a lot of time into drilling down to the time of the incidence, and it would be a big help for them.
