Is it on the cards to be able to create custom time filters. For example I'd like to monitor services in a region for which a "day" means 8:30am - 6:30pm Another region would be 8.30am - 4.30 am the next day. Can that be shown somehow? ---

Yes you can create date filters, and since Elasticsearch works in GMT you just have to create a filter based on the GMT Time you want Check this out [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-range-filter.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-range-filter.html) You can also do things like "date-1h/h" { "constant\_score": { "filter": { "range" : { "born" : { "gte": "2012-01-01", "lte": "now", "time\_zone": "+1:00" } } } } } ---

I mean in Kibana. I want to have my users be able to click on something that I can set up in the background. ---

Well in Kibana, you can set custome time's in the upper right corner and the way I handle is just build a Markdown Widget that links to the "Dashboard/search with the time frame included. Example of a Dashboard link This is what I have for a link **[http://dashboard.digital.hbc.com/DSG/kibana/#/dashboard/DSG-SAR-All?\_g=(time:(from:now-4h,mode:quick,to:now)](http://dashboard.digital.hbc.com/DSG/kibana/#/dashboard/DSG-SAR-All?_g=(time:(from:now-4h,mode:quick,to:now)))** Which is subset of this URL page (when loading the dashboard in kibana) Obviously you would change your URL to relect the timeframe you wanted. **[http://dashboard.digital.hbc.com/DSG/kibana/#/dashboard/DSG-SAR-All?\_g=(time:(from:now-4h,mode:quick,to:now)](http://dashboard.digital.hbc.com/DSG/kibana/#/dashboard/DSG-SAR-All?_g=(time:(from:now-4h,mode:quick,to:now)))**&\_a=(filters:!(),panels:!((col:1,id:DSG-SAR-PCPU,row:5,size\_x:7,size\_y:3,type:visualization),(col:8,id:DSG-SAR-PIDLE,row:1,size\_x:5,size\_y:4,type:visualization),(col:8,id:DSG-SAR-PIOWAIT,row:5,size\_x:5,size\_y:4,type:visualization),(col:1,id:DSG-SAR-PSYSTEM,row:8,size\_x:7,size\_y:4,type:visualization),(col:1,id:DSG-SAR-PUSER,row:1,size\_x:7,size\_y:4,type:visualization)),query:(query\_string:(analyze\_wildcard:!t,query:'\*')),title:'DSG%20-%20SAR%20All') ---
