Time range picker

Every Logs search runs against a finite window of time. The picker on the right side of the search toolbar reads LAST 24H by default. Change it to look further back, or narrow the search to the last few minutes.

How to use it

Click the LAST chip and pick one of seven presets:

If a search has already run, switching the range immediately re-runs it with the new window. You do not need to click RUN again.

What gets put in the URL

The selected range is stored in the URL as ?range=7d (or whichever you pick). The default 24h is the only value that does not get added to the URL, so a clean URL means "default range".

When you share a URL with ?range= in it, the recipient lands on the same time window you were looking at.

What it really does

The picker controls a single hidden filter that gets added to your query: ts >= now - <range>. If your own SOQL already has a ts predicate (for example ts > now-30m or ts between "..." and "..."), the picker's filter is suppressed. Your explicit time bound always wins.

That means you can mix the two:

• Use the picker for rough scoping ("the last day")
• Add ts to your SOQL when you need precise bounds

But you should not do both at once for the same window. Pick one.

The longest you can go

The default cap is 30 days. Your plan's retention setting determines whether older data is even available. If you ask for 30D and your retention is 14 days, the search returns events for the most recent 14 days only, with no error.

What it does not control

The picker does not change the live tail. Live tail always starts from "now" forward and keeps going until you stop. See Live tail for details.

The picker also does not affect downloads from the export buttons. Export always uses the visible result page, which is already filtered by the picker at search time.
