### Description **Horizontal axis:** Adjusts according to the selected time period to show "hours" in day view and "days" in week and month views; redraws if the time zone is changed at the top right of the Details page. See [Zoom options](/details/details-page-options/zoom-options.md) for methods to zoom in on the data. **Time period** Highlight displays the values for each data point in the time period:


Day	Shows multiple data points per hour (one for each polling period, usually one to five minutes)
Week	Shows 24 data points per day (every hour), Maximum for each hour is shown
Month	Shows 6 data points per day (every 4 hours), Maximum for each 4 hour period is shown

For any time period, hover on a point to see date, timestamp and availability status. ### Availability Coloured blips, with the meaning shown below, are drawn on the Availability line.

Colour	Issue
Red blip	Switch Slot reported as Down
Blue blip	No data, controller is not contactable
Green line	Switch Slot is up
Grey line	No data

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://help.highlight.net/details/other-watch-types/switch-slots.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
