# `around`

## Description

The `around` keyword allows users to declare a timerange, defined as some interval before and after a `timestamp`, on which a query should operate.

Note

The `interval`, if specified, **MUST** be positive.

Note

If the `interval` is not specified, then a default value of `30m` is used.

## Syntax

```dataprime
source (logs|spans) around <time> [interval <interval>]
```

## Example

The `around` keyword can be used on `logs` or `spans` like so:

### Example query

```dataprime
source logs around @'2021-01-01T00:00:00Z' interval 1h
source spans around @'2021-01-01T00:00:00Z' interval 1h
```

Note

The `@` symbol before the timestamps indicates that these values are timestamp literals.

This particular query will source `logs` between `@'2021-12-31T23:00:00Z'` and `@'2021-01-01T01:00:00Z'`. In other words, one hour before the timestamp, to one hour after the timestamp.

### Try it yourself

Open up your Coralogix explore screen and paste in the following query:

```dataprime
source logs around @'2024-10-14T00:00:00Z' interval 1h
```
