Hello.

The Zoom function when viewing line graphs needs some improvements. When clicking Zoom in the toolbar, the horizontal scale changes and middle point stays the same, makes sense but not really useful. When right-clicking on an interesting section and selecting Zoom in from the context menu I'd assume the zoom would center where I clicked, it does not.

In the Legacy client, which I haven't used in a year or so, I remember I could draw a rectangle to zoom. That was quite useful, however most time I need to zoom it's to a point in time, and my rectangle would easily change the Y axis if I wasn't drawing it across the entire graph height.

I'd like an easy way to select a time span to zoom, preferrably by clicking and dragging from my desired start point to the end point in the graph view.

And, when zoomed in it would be lovely to be able to easily scroll backwards and forwards in time.

Another detail which bothers me is that the top pixels in the Y axis top value label gets cut. If I need to share an image of a CPU graph I always set the Y axis to manual range and specify 101 as the top value.

And yet another detail when I'm already at it.. ;)
When viewing a graph a week or a month back, it's not really useful to have minute-exact timestamps in the X axis. I'd rather have the grid lines at even hours or at midnight, which makes it easier to read and orientate. And the timestamps isn't matching the regional settings set in the client, which is yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm.


Thanks for an otherwise wonderful product, and keep up the good work.

Best regards
