Any idea why clicking the graph and selecting a time range doesn't zoom in at this url [http://goo.gl/te2qb6](http://goo.gl/te2qb6) ? ---

Is this a Kibana instance you are trying to set up or just something you stumbled upon in a public domain? ---

This is something I am trying to setup. Thanks for the reply ---

I think this is because you set up your index not to contain time-based events. I added another index pattern (airbo\*) selecting time-based events (see below), and re-created your visualization using that [here](http://analytics.airboxapp.co/#/dashboard?_a=%28filters:!%28%29,panels:!%28%28col:1,id:test1,row:1,size_x:12,size_y:4,type:visualization%29%29,query:%28query_string:%28analyze_wildcard:!t,query:%27*%27%29%29,title:%27New%20Dashboard%27%29&_g=%28refreshInterval:%28display:Off,pause:!f,section:0,value:0%29,time:%28from:now-5d,mode:relative,to:now%29%29) - now brushing the chart to change the time range works. In your case, a time-based index pattern is what you want anyway, since you have a time field. I filed an issue to investigate why changing time range in the other setup seems available, but doesn't work: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5191](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5191) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/b/bd9ee18971bbeead9af474b241140016671dc1d1.png) ---

Thanks for much for quick reply. That helped me 🙂 ---
