Hi Michał,
It can be tricky at the beginning if you haven't read things from the Instana OpenAPI but here is an example based on your URL parameters:
timeline.ws = windowSize
integer <int64>
Size of time window in milliseconds
For example, your ws is 2 days
timeline.fm = From
integer <int64>
The start of the timestamp expressed in Unix epoch time in milliseconds.
Your fm in GMT is: Monday 9 June 2025 22:00:00
timeline.to = To
integer <int64>
Timestamp since Unix Epoch in milliseconds of the end of the time window.
Your to is the same as from: Monday 9 June 2025 22:00:00
timeline.ar
Is the "Live button" autorefresh.
In your URL, you need to define your from and to properly to get the data from the timeframe you want.
I hope this helps.

Subject: How work timeline in URL to Instana Analytics
Currently I'm working on Instana Analytics. I have URL in form:
https://instana.io/#/.........timeline.ws=172800000&timeline.to=1749506400000&timeline.fm=1749506400000&timeline.ar=false
My question is how work "timeline" in this link.
I was thinking that maybe that is Unix Timestamp, but I don't understand how it work.
`timeline.ws` is proper Unix Timestamp, but it points to 1975. `timeline.to` and `timeline.fm` is too long for Unix Timestamp.
It's like we have `timeline.ws` which point to some date in the past and `timeline.to` and `.fm` is adding time to `timeline.ws`?
But in what form are `timeline.to` and `.fm`? It's no Unix Timestamp because it's too long.
I would like to understand, based on what this timeline is working. I would like to write properly value to this timelines field and this link would open Analytics in proper range time in Instana.
