Hello,

I want to see the logs for **last 5 minutes from particular timestamp**.

I am constructing elastic log url dynamically for alert message (with timestamp i.e the alert triggered time). For specifying date range for logs, i don't have context of start time. So i have to look for last 5 min logs (alert trigger for 5 min ).

Ex:

```auto
     start: "~5m ago" and end:alertTriggertrdTime
     logPosition=(end:alertTriggertrdTime,position:!n,start:~5m ago,streamLive:!f)

```

But didn't workout for me. Could you please help us on this issue.

Hi @Raghavendra_B,

we have special routes to open the logs stream at a specific time:

```auto
/app/logs/link-to/logs?time=${TIMESTAMP}

```

where you replace `${TIMESTAMP}` with a millisecond epoch value like `1635247161801`. Then the Logs UI would set the time range to `TIMESTAMP - 1 hour` until `TIMESTAMP + 1 hour` and center on the given `TIMESTAMP`.

Does that help in your use-case?
