Custom Date range selectors

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi community,
Had Data Analyst training this week and I asked if there were options to add the following to date picker section:-

  • Yesterday
  • Last Week
  • Last Month
  • This Week
  • This Month

I was advised that this could not be done. However, I found these previous posts
How to create a custom time range for Last Month in kibana &
Time Filter for the current month
threads.

As a newby to Kibana and coding in general would I just replace the M with D for Day and W for Week to create what I require. Example for yesterday below?

   {
   "from": "now/D-1D",
   "to": "now-1D/D",
   "display": "Yesterday (Custom)",
   "section": 1
   }

You can use the following for last week / last month:

{
    "from": "now-1w", #replace with -1m for month
    "to": "now",
    "display": "Last 1 week"
}

Instead for this week and this month you do something like this:

{
    "from": "now/w", #replace with M for month
    "to": "now/w", # replace with M for month
    "display": "This week"
}

Note that This week is a default kibana quick range.

So yesterday is:

{
   "from": "now/d-1d",
   "to": "now/d-1d",
   "display": "Yesterday (Custom)",
   "section": 1
 }

By the way I found not easy to learn and understand quick ranges from the documentation (I'm the author of one of the othere post you mentioned) so I hope that the documentation will be improved.
This filters are very, very important for anyone who works with data (and not just for logging).

Thank you @mattiacareddu. Totally agree - they are important and I'm a little surprised they are not available as standard. I will pass these on so they can be created in our environments.
