+## AggConfigs.getResolvedTimeRange() method
+
+Returns the current time range as moment instance (date math will get resolved using the current "now" value or system time if not set)
+
+<b>Signature:</b>
+
+```typescript
+getResolvedTimeRange(): import("../..").TimeRangeBounds | undefined;
+```
+<b>Returns:</b>
+
+`import("../..").TimeRangeBounds | undefined`
+
+Current time range as resolved date.
