How to do TimeChart implementation with DB SQL query?

I want to implement timechart with span in db sql query. But while implementation, I am getting zero result.

Basically, I want to show count with timechart.

Even, I verified that data is coming with the same query with created_timestamp column.data1.JPG 

I don't know what step I am doing missing, while using timechart.

Timechart relies on a field called _time to hold the epoch timestamp. You need to parse the create time and store it in the _time field. Try something like this

| eval _time=strptime(created_timestamp,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%3N")

Timechart uses the earliest and latest times from the search to determine the size of the x axis

Change the timeframe for the search or create your own chart

| bin span=1h _time
| chart count by _time scope
