Hi, I am not able to change the color of graph , tried multiple options in source code , everytime the same color is reflecting . I want three different colors for 3 different results ( in this case - succeeded , failed , aborted)

Given that you have trellis enabled, I suspect each chart represents a different series with the x-axis being the different results. Colouring applies to the series not the x-axis value. You may need to modify search somehow to get the result you want, (although I suspect it isn't possible with the standard bar chart).

Hi

Your issues probably is that those filenames are <something>:succeeded  etc. not only succeeded. I suppose that you cannot know beforehand what those somethings are, as those are based on your data. Then the best option is use seriesColors. See more e.g. https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/How-to-change-color-of-area-chart/m-p/578703
