Date picker why is it so hard

Hi sorry to prob ask something that has been asked a million times , i have searched and cant find a working solution , or i cant make it work :frowning: even AI is not getting me anywhere , why is it so hard to get buttons or something on a graph so i can go back days and forwards days and also have a calander to pick the data of the graph , surely that is a huge feature that is needed in a graph ?? but hasent grafana implemented something easy like in the photo , so lastly what is my best option to get something close to the picture ?? thanks

That is a tough one not to have by default in grafana

Take a look at this approach

ok thanks, yes i did see that post i did try it but couldnt get it to work mayby i need to spend more time trying to figure out how to make it work

Maybe @orosolido can chime in. I think it is an amazing implementation

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I can’t promise I’ll have all the answers, but I’m always happy to see if I can help :wink:

For the issue custom datepicker plugin by @orsolido would be the best solution.
I implemented a simpler Grafana solution using a Text panel with HTML buttons and Grafana URL time parameters.I used dashboard links to dynamically update the dashboard timerange. This gives us custom day buttons ,weekly monthly range and we can quickly navigate between dates
Enable HTML rendering in grafana->
disable_sanitize_html = true

Add a Text panel in HTML mode and add buttons

when you click on the button the time range will change accordingly

Simpler is often good but your approach @infofcc3 is way too simplistic and not a viable option as you have static values both of string dates and organizations

I would stick with the solid gold solution by @orosolido
