In the nodes and pods screens, it would be helpful to add the option “10 minutes” to the historical dropdown menu. This would be very useful for analyzing pod/node startup in more detail because 1 hour provides too condensed a visualization for proper analysis.

Additionally, adding 1 week would allow us to observe pod/node behavior over a complete week, enabling us to see the impacts of batches or node reboots.

The choices of 2 hours and 4 hours don’t seem useful to me.

In the application preferences, it would be beneficial to configure the default choice between:

```
10 minutes
1 hour
12 hours
24 hours
1 week

```

Note that in Metrics 2.0 you can zoom the chart to zoom in to e.g. 10 minutes.
