Activity timeline

An activity timeline is a chronological graph that displays in the SQLdm Console, at the top of your Most Recent feed as well as on the walls of servers, your SQLdm application, and coworkers. It shows how many stories have been created over time, as well as when stories have caused the most interaction, allowing you to quickly identify the highest and lowest points of activity.

How can the activity timeline help me diagnose issues?

By identifying when activity spikes happened, you can discern when and where you should focus your attention. You can then drill down to the corresponding stories that occurred at specific points in time by selecting suspicious spikes in the timeline.

The activity timeline also lets you easily discover historical patterns, such as a repeating server issue, or return to a past event to see how it was resolved.

How do I browse activity on the timeline?

Choose whether you want to browse activity by day, month, or year, and then use the forward and backward arrows to scroll through the corresponding timeline.

How do I pick a specific point in time?

When you hover over or tap on the activity timeline graph, a horizontal bar displays, pinpointing the exact point in time for which you are seeing activity. To change this point in time, select the bar and move it to the appropriate time.

TIP	To pinpoint the most precise time, narrow your focus to the daily timeline, and then pick the exact hour and minute.
