Change

charting.chart = scatter

instead of line
There are many options that you can set for charts. Many of the ones you have listed may not be relevant for scatter charts, but Splunk will just ignore them. For info, look at the Chart Configuration Reference

Thanks for the help, am actually looking to replicate a scatter plot using a line chart....where i will increase the marker size and make the line transparent , which will look like a scatter plot..

Why? And if you want the line to be transparent, perhaps you should just make it white, to match the background color. Again, you can find the line colors in the Chart Configuration Reference.
