Describe the feature:
I would like to have an easier way to narrow in and out of a lens graph. This can be done using a slider option. The slider option is already being used in Elastic ML/Anomaly Detection so it can be leveraged.
Describe a specific use case for the feature:
If you look at a graph in a dashboard with the timefence of 'last 24 hours', you can see a 24-hour line graph view.
The 24-hour view doesn't provide much detail, so the user needs to drill down into the areas they want to focus on.
Once you drill down, your dashboard changes to that selected time range, and I am also aware of the feature to add a time range to a specific visualization.
Both methods require going back and forth with the previous time selections in the dashboard or visualizations to compare and do more analysis.
The above picture with Elastic ML graph is similar to what we used in SW.
It allows you to use a slider to see the line graph within the time interval (last 24 hours) and use the slider to show you the behavior within the interval. The slider also allows you to decrease the slider by the sides and continue to slide the slider to look at the details at new time intervals (1 hour, 12 hours) while still within a 24-hour interval.
Essentially, it's just an easier way to drill down without the hassle of going back and forth with time selections.
I assume since Elastic is using it for their ML, it might be possible to get that into our dashboards eventually.
