Hi @elasticforme No not in Lens... because if you do too big a time frame, the the date histogram wil create too many buckets and the query and viz will timeout / fail etc. You CAN set the exact value in TSDB BUT it will then fail if you ask for too big of a time frame. What are you trying to solve? Fixed at 15 min what happens if someone asks for 1 year of data? ---

not that much. I am just trying to see two week data but it does not work. I have found workaround by using TSVB which keeps interval
