Another option to verify the correct timestamp is to use the Zoom feature:
When hovering your mouse over the charted area you may notice your mouse cursor has learned a new trick, changing to crosshairs. Holding down your mouse button while dragging across the charted area allows you to lasso a specific time period of interest, such as a sudden spike in resource usage. The selected area is then the focal point of your project, while the rest of the chart area surrounding this time period becomes visually de-emphasized through color desaturation. while the colors remain bright and vibrant within the selected area. This easily allows you to focus your attention on the area selected area without visual distraction from the surrounding area. This selection process occurs across all charts within the PerfStack, making it easier to visually correlate what else occurred during the same time period.

Once a time period has been selected, new options appear next to the selected area. Clicking the [+] icon highlighted above zooms into the selected time range where you can view high-fidelity detailed data collected during that time period. Similarly, clicking the [-] icon allows you to zoom further out to spot trends, or return to your previous perspective after having zoomed in. Any time after having made a selection, clicking the [X] icon will cancel the selection and return focus to the entire viewable chart area.
As of the moment, there is no workaround as viewing it in a larger time duration, there is a need to summarize some of the data to be able to show them in a single chart
