Hey All,  
I've got Grafana and Influxdb set up and running. My current graphs show 1 day, 7 days, or whatever. I'd like to be able to access historical data without making a new dashboard in Grafana. I've seen examples of this while setting this up but I can't seem to find them again...

I'd like to be able to click a series of buttons that will show as little as a half an hour to a whole year. And also be able to look at a specific date in time.

How can I set up these buttons?

Thanks  
Rich

Have a look [here](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/8e96b8630c4edc866aa0459354033c9b), it's all in the sample.
