Hi @ all,
how could I create a timechart if I have just a error message and no field value?
For example:
index="*" thisistheerrormessage | timechart thisistheerrormessage span=1h
Thanks and BR,
Michael

Thanks for your answer. That works fine. The only problem for me is: I see as describer in the timechart the word "count". How can I get the error message instead of count?
