| eval totaltime=mvindex(data,0)  
| eval duration=mvindex(data,1) 
| table totaltime duration 

by using totaltime(first highlight in the below data) and duration(second highlight in the sample data below) from the below sample data and would like to striff off the values populating on x-axis. values say ()18.054, 18.250,1408.651,etc). Attached is the screenshot`alt text`

18.054: [Full GC (System.gc()) 503347K->61384K(32156672K), 0.1963421 secs]
18.250: [Full GC (System.gc()) 61384K->60461K(32156672K), 0.2033912 secs]
1408.651: [GC (Metadata GC Threshold) 2828876K->81862K(32156672K), 0.0540273 secs]
1408.705: [Full GC (Metadata GC Threshold) 81862K->29711K(32156672K), 0.0434399 secs]
1412.793: [GC (Metadata GC Threshold) 1573326K->77878K(32156672K), 0.0172465 secs]
1412.810: [Full GC (Metadata GC Threshold) 77878K->67453K(32156672K), 0.1902059 secs]

Update -
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.1/Viz/ChartConfigurationReference#Area.2C_Bubble.2C_...

looks like there is an option -
charting.axisLabelsX.axisVisibility
charting.axisLabelsY.axisVisibility (show | hide) Depends on axis type Indicates whether or not the axis line is visible. For numeric axes, defaults to hide. For all other axes, defaults to show.

on the dashboard, click Edit ---> Edit Source, it will open the xml source of the dashboard.
on this xml, please update -
<param name="charting.axisLabelsY.majorLabelVisibility">hide</param>

one more option -
as you have long values, you can try the Label Rotation / Label truncation options.

@inventsekar, I think you meant option not param. Advanced XML param is deprecated. Also it should be axisLabelsX which needs to be hidden not Y.

<option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelVisibility">hide</option>

PS: While this option should work and hide the x-axis labels, it is also deprecated. Following is the Splunk documentation for Chart Configuration reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Viz/ChartConfigurationReference#Area.2C_Bubble.2...
