This includes setting the time period for which you want to aggregate data, as well as any other parameters that you may need. Once configured, you can then use the rolling aggregation feature to aggregate data over the specified time period and roll it up into a single value. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using rolling aggregation, it is important to ensure that all of the data being aggregated is accurate and up-to-date. This will ensure that the resulting value is as accurate as possible. Additionally, it is important to consider how often you will need to update the data in order to keep the rolling aggregation up-to-date.
