Relative Time Syntax
In many places in LogScale you have to specify a time interval. For
example when specifying the time
interval for a query or when using the
timeChart() query function.
To make specifying a time more flexible, LogScale supports a relative time syntax. This lets you express a simple time duration, rather than specifying two absolute times.
You specify a relative time modifier as a number followed by a word. The following table shows which words you can use:
