Let's say that my system has been running for the past 45 days, starting on February 1st. I simply need the data for the 4th and 5th days of March. How can i create snapshot which captures only 2 days data or any no of days. To capture data for a specific duration, can you provide the URL query that takes time parameters, such as start and finish times.
