Hi !

I'm pretty new to Kibana and I started to build my first dashboard today which works fine. The only issue I have at the moment is that there is always a time restriction on my data (like Last Week,Last Year,...) Is it possible to disable this time constraints to get all the available data ?

yours

Not yet, but we have an issue to track that request [on the repo here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1723), feel free to +1 or leave a comment if you'd like.

In the meantime, you can use the Absolute date range and just set it to the entire span of your dataset. Note that getting the data back might be a little slow, but there's no reason it shouldn't work.

I think I found another solution for this. I created a second index pattner in kibana which doesn't index on time-based event. With that I can create now the same visualizations without the need to restrict it based on time.
