Zoom In?

[BanditBBS]

Is there a zoom in feature I just can't find? If you click the zoom out, say 5 times and then want to un-zoom 2 times, there is no way to do that with clicks of a link like zoom out, that I can find.

You mean when you're zooming in on a particular amount of data? Could you include a screenshot to detail what you mean?

I assume you do something like zooming in on a panel:

After you zoom in, a filter is created that filters your logs down to that 'timestamp range'. Feel free to remove that filter at will:

HA! Same answers I gave to my user but then they convinced me I was not understanding exactly!

So you pull up the dashboard and have the "events over time" section.
You click the "Zoom Out" link 4 times.
You decide that was one too many, but no method to precisely "Zoom in"/Undo pressing "Zoom Out". Sure you can use the click and drag method, but it isn't exactly the same thing.

Did I explain that any better....it's rather hard to explain well.

Zooming out just changes the 'timestamp' filter - there's no way built-in to zoom back in. The best way is likely to select the time that you started at:

Naturally you could drag and select the area of logs you'd like to see as well!

Dropping the filter doesn't do what you want. But the drop-down menu up top does a better job. Doesn't take you back one zoom level like you (or your user) ask, but it's a quick change.
