Histogram View of Search Results
At the top of the Search results page, the total number of results is displayed along with a date range histogram that provides a graphical representation of the results.
The date histogram is a bar graph that shows the count of events, over the selected time range, that matched the search criteria and time filters. The histogram lists the time range you’re currently exploring, as well as the interval range represented by each bar. The amount of time associated with each bar adjusts dynamically based on the time range of your search. Each bar may represent minutes, hours, or days in the timeline depending on how wide the search range.
Click Hide Histogram/Show Histogram to hide or display the histogram bar graph.
Note
If an event does not specify a timezone, the time is reported in UTC.
Note
To accommodate very large log data volumes, the timeline, by default, initially displays only the last 2 weeks. Click the Fetch more 
icon to continue building out the Histogram.
To zoom into a specific area of the histogram, you can narrow the time filter as follows:
Click an individual bar that represents the time interval you want to zoom in on, OR click and drag to select a specific timespan.
Click the Zoom selection icon (
) to zoom in on the selected time interval. The histogram changes to reflect a zoomed in view of the selected bar or area. To revert the histogram to its original time frame, click the clear filter icon
