Measurement Interval - Option for "Last 0 days" to get current day info only in dashboards.

I have a lot of charts in my dashboards whose measurement interval is Last 1 days. This gives me info from yesterday up until current time. It would be helpful to have an option for Last 0 days to get current date info only. I can bring up the chart and set to a specific date of today's date, but that will not update in the dashboard the next day.

By having a relative date of last 0 days will help identify any issues going on today.

Example: I have a chart in one of my dashboards that monitor CPU utilzation of DB2 authids. We have a few authids that are heavy hitters which is normal. When I looked at the chart first thing in the morning, everything looked fine. Normal IDs were at the top of the list. However, I noticed in Omegamon that our DB2 distributed address space was running very hot. After further analysis, I found a new authid was using all the CPU.  Because this new authid had 0 cpu time yesterday, it showed up low on my chart. When I changed the chart interval to todays specific date, this new authid towered over all the others. By having last 0 days, I would have identified the issue/culprit much sooner
