I'm using Kibana 3 and 4 for historical log analysis. A common flow for me is to set the time window to a business day, then zoom in until I get to maybe a time window (anywhere between 2 hours and 5 minutes) where the graphs show me what I need to know. Often I then want to navigate forward and backward through time, watching how stats change.
In Kibana 3 I have to either remove time filters and add new ones or edit the main time field.
In Kibana 4 I'm editing the main time picker.
What I'd love is the following: a + and - button by the time picker which function as follows. + takes the difference between the current start and end range and adds that difference to both fields. I could also imagine a 1/2+ (better name needed) which advances half the current time window, to allow a bit of context to remain. Perhaps also of use would be a +Day to keep the current time, but advance one day.
Happy enough if my workflow isn't very common or there's a better way of doing this. I think I can implement what I need in Kibana 4 through bookmarklets if necessary.
