Hi, have a Dashboard that I would like to default to today at 8:00 AM est  
to today at 9:00 PM

I thought I could just modify the from and to for the filter range (see  
below). What is the syntex for now at 8:00 AM . I tried:  
"now||+T08:00.000Z" but that does not work. Google is failing me 🙂

Any ideas? Thank you, Chris

"filter": {  
"list": {  
"0": {  
"from": "now||+T08:00.000Z",  
"to": "2014-09-18T00:06:10.435Z",  
"type": "time",  
"field": "@timestamp",  
"mandate": "must",  
"active": true,  
"alias": "",  
"id": 0  
}  
},

Now is an entirely relative time period and you cannot fix it to a specific  
point.

I'm not sure you can achieve a fixed period in kibana though.
