The default time range for apm monitoring in kibana is 24 hours and we want to change it to last 1 hour. I tried changing the 'Time picker defaults
' from kibana settings, but apm dashboard still had the same time range of last 24 hours. How can I configure this?
Thanks in advance
**Kibana version** : 7.1.0
**Elasticsearch version** : 7.1.0
**APM Server version** : 7.1.0

Just adding a +1 to this. This was the very first question I asked when on our intro call with customer success. Generally I want to see the last 3 hours activity by default as it's a little slow to get 24 hours worth every time.

@Shashank_Sah sorry this one was missed!
It's not currently configurable I'm afraid. There is an issue open to address this: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/47606](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/47606)
