How can I create a visualization of last events that includes color-coded results from three different time periods?

I'm trying to find the last instances of multiple events. For some of these instances, I want to know if they occurred in the last day, and for others if they occurred in the last month, and for the rest if they occurred in the last 3 days. If they did occur within their time period, I want the visualization for the instance to be colored green, and if they didn't, I want the visualization to be colored red. How would I go about creating a visualization that holds all of these events, and what is the best visualization to use?

Hi @guab77! Have you had a chance to read through the documentation on visualizations? https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.6.2/Search/Createtimebasedcharts I saw this app as well for custom visualizations: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3120/
I also saw this post on comparing multiple time ranges in one report: https://www.splunk.com/blog/2012/02/19/compare-two-time-ranges-in-one-report.html

@guab77, how are you planning to associate which job is associated with daily and which ones monthly occurences? Is there going to be a lookup or is it coming from indexed data?

I would just use a standard Statistics page and color code each cell.
