Timeline slider initialization slow SQL queries.

    • Sprint 5, Sprint 6

      Today we identified a serious performance issue caused by the timeline slider resp. its need to find out the lowest time stamp:

      Admittedly this is an extreme example of a Custom graph with more then 70 Items and a total size of over 316 GB for trends tables.
      However spending one and a half minute on preparing the time slider and just the fraction of a second on querying/processing the actual graph data seems a bit disproportionate to me

      We briefly discussed this in the office and didn't came up with a satisfying alternative method of initializing the timeline slider nor the zoom links.
      Then our Zabbix admin asked: Does anybody of you actually make use of that thing?
      The answer was surprisingly simply: No!

      Nobody on-site seems to make, or ever had made, use of it. The Zooming and shifting, as well as the date picker is used frequently - but never the slider itself.

      So, how about getting rid of it and using the gained space for visually more appealing resp. user-friendly zoom and shift buttons?

      PS: An even more rigorous proposal was to get even rid of the zoom pre-sets and replacing them by a simple zoom-out function. But the guy who throws that in is a bit "Grafana affected"
