How do I find out maximum number of visitors at one time from Google Analytics?

Question

I'm not sure if this is even possible in Google Analytics. Is there a way to find out the maximum number of visitors that visited a site within a time period of one minute, or one hour? Or is the data only available per day.

Answer 1

Looks like by the hour is available.

Current version:

Under Visitors -> Visitor Trending -> Visits

Click on the clock to the right of Graph by (under date range).

New version:

Visitors -> Overview -> Graph by (on right, under date) -> Hour
