Hello, I have a dashboard which is querying data on the basis of Time Filter values. As my data consists of values more than a year so I want to set the Time Filter to `past 12 months` as a default value from `15 mins`. Please help me how I can achieve this.

Hi @Hasan Welcome to the community.

Please always let us know what version you are on when asking a question.

To do what you want

Go To Kibana -\> Stack Management -\> Advanced Settings -\> Time filter defaults

And set what you like Here is 12 months.

NOTE : You will need to Reload Kibana to see the new default.

```auto
  "from": "now-12M",
  "to": "now"
}

```
