How do I plot 60 days worth of data on the line chart?

I have data coming in from our NetApp storage controllers that shows aggregate space free every day. I need to plot each day's values and then show a chart that shows the last 60 days as dots on a line chart. Management wants to see if storage is trending up or down. i have this search so far but it is messing up and plotting the sum of all of them over 60 days. I want each day's values plotted:

index=netapp_vault_utilization sourcetype=dbx3_netapp_vault_aggregate earliest=-60d@d latest=@h 
| timechart span=60d@d sum(SpaceFree) AS aggregate_space_free_60d by name
| append [search index=netapp_vault_utilization sourcetype=dbx3_netapp_vault_aggregate earliest=-48h@h latest=24h@h
| timechart span=60d@d sum(SpaceFree) AS aggregate_space_free_60d by name]

It will show the correct amount for the current day but the larger numbers above are a sum of when the oldest event is. How did i fix this? Am i even on the right path?

@shanecifaldi,

If you need to see daily growth, set the span to 1d span=1d which will split the data into "day" buckets.

index=netapp_vault_utilization sourcetype=dbx3_netapp_vault_aggregate earliest=-60d@d latest=@h 
| timechart span=1d sum(SpaceFree) AS aggregate_space_free_60d by name
