18.6. Additional Read: Time Range¶
The time range in a widget lets you filter the data based on the polling time. When you select a time range, Motadata will show only that data which is polled in that duration.
What is Polling Time?
There is difference between polling time and event time. For widgets we use polling time.
Event Time: The time on which event happened.
Poll Time: The time on which Motadata received the data.
How Time Range Works?
In every 5 minutes, Motadata polls the monitor and collects the data.
System stores the data and timestamp when the monitor is polled.
When the timestamp of data falls in the time range of metric, Motadata shows data as output.
To understand what exactly you’ll see look at the time range value while creating the widget.
18.6.1. Basic Time Range¶
Basic Time Range¶
What does ‘This’ mean in Time Range?
Here, the time range computed is for the time of current hour or current month or current day. It doesn’t count the full time range but uses standard start time and computes till the current time. See following example to understand:
Your Current Time is: 05 April 2019 15:23:42
