Time Intervals Overview
Gain full control over how far back in time your users can search for archived log events and data in Nodinite. The Time Intervals feature lets you define, manage, and secure time-based search limits, empowering your business to solve problems independently while maintaining compliance and performance. You can also use it in Monitor Views to set recurrence on alerts.
On this page, you will learn how to:
✅ Create and manage user-defined Time Intervals for use in Log Views with Time Interval Configurations and in Monitor Views with recurrence on alerts.
✅ Fine-tune role-based access to historical data
✅ Restore, sort, and control search limits for business users
