To define a dynamic time-frame to be monitored, select a starting point and, optionally, an offset value.
Optional: Specify a time-frame end. By default, the system collects data until the current time.
To specify an offset value, use the following syntax: <placeholder><operator (+ or -)><offset value>. For more information, see the examples below.
Note
Days are calendar days, not only working days.
Week start is on Monday.
Caution
Performance impairment
Long time-frames can severely impair performance on the managed system.
Specify the time-frame carefully.
To monitor longer time-frames, use SAP NetWeaver BW reporting.
