Hello,  
I'm starting out on Timelion, and I need to change the x-axis scale, and go from an interval of 2 hours to 15 minutes.

Has anyone ever done that?

Below is an annotated screenshot

Thank you all for your help

Hi @mehdichilla,

you can set a custom Timelion x-axis bucket size in the visualization's options by selecting "other" as the interval and entering your desired value in the field above:

Thank you for your answer, but I would like to display every quarter of an hour on the horizontal axis as for example 14h || 14h15 .... currently it is displayed only every two hour
