# Add an interval variable
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: This is a draft topic, not included in the live build.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `Interval` type to create a variable that represents a time span (eg. `1m`,`1h`, `1d`). There is also a special `auto` option that will change depending on the current time range. You can specify how many times the current time range should be divided to calculate the current `auto` timespan.
|
||||
|
||||
This variable type is useful as a parameter to group by time (for InfluxDB), Date histogram interval (for Elasticsearch) or as a *summarize* function parameter (for Graphite).
|
||||
|
||||
Example using the template variable `myinterval` of type `Interval` in a graphite function:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
summarize($myinterval, sum, false)
|
||||
```
