Maybe this would be a more simple question related to my previous post.
In a time-based dashboard with hourly time interval, given a millisecond-level timestamp (like March 5th 2018, 02:34:51.533), how can I quickly (with one or two actions only) zoom in around that time period, e.g. +/- 1 second. Wondering if we can do this without either multiple zoom-in's or manually setting the time picker.

there's the move forward/move backward in time buttons (two little arrows on the left/right of the time in the top-right of kibana).

Thanks for the reply.
But, I'd like to zoom in, say, from hourly based view for 3 days to a focused view only showing, say 1 sec period at millisecond-level.
