Time Range Picker
Use the shared time range picker to set relative or absolute time windows across Logs, Traces, Metrics, Dashboards, and more.
The time range picker is available in the top-right corner of every page in Last9 — Logs, Traces, Metrics, Dashboards, Services, and more. It controls the time window for all data displayed on the current page.
Quick Access with Keyboard
The fastest way to change the time range is to never leave the keyboard. See Keyboard Shortcuts for all available shortcuts in Last9.

Timezone

The trigger bar also displays the current timezone offset (e.g., UTC+05:30) for quick reference.
Live Mode
Toggle Live mode using the play/pause button on the right side of the time picker. When enabled, the picker shows a Live badge on the left, the page auto-refreshes, and streams new data as it arrives. The selected relative time range continues to slide forward.
