How to create user logon session line chart by timechart command

Hi all, 

I have data in below that indicates logon and logoff time.

_timeuserstartTimeendTime
20/12/04 18:07:03.000A16070728231607073562
20/12/04 17:53:22.000B16070720021607074229
20/12/04 16:21:19.000A16070664791607066494
20/12/04 16:07:32.000C16070656521607065719

"_time" is equal to startTime but startTime is epoch time.

I would like to plot this time series data to line chart using timechart command.

Like, x axis indicates time with 1minutes span, and y axis indicates each user name and plot data to be 1 between session startTime and endTime.

Hi @gcusello ,

Thank you your app suggestions

I'm aware of that app, but I can't install it because our Splunk is deployed on a closed network or can't bring app packaged file.
Therefore, I would like to implement it by using the line chart that I can use by default.

Thank you.
