Compare an AppSignal dashboard chart with the previous period, day, or week

App·Nov 12, 2026

Comparing an AppSignal dashboard chart in fullscreen mode with an earlier time range now takes only one step. Select Compare next to the time range menu, and pick one of the following options. Each option shows the dates it compares with dotted lines for the comparison.

  • Previous period compares with the same length of time, right before the chart's range.
  • 1D before compares with the same range one day earlier. It shows when the range is shorter than a day.
  • 7D before compares with the same range one week earlier. It shows when the range is shorter than a week.
  • Custom start date lets you pick a day in the calendar and a Start time. When you hover over a day, the calendar outlines the days the comparison covers.
A fullscreen Throughput chart over 48 hours, compared with the 48 hours before. The Compare menu is open and shows Previous period and 7D before, each with its dates, and Custom start date. Dotted lines show the comparison.
Pick an earlier time range to compare with.
