Dashboards & Visualizations

Time/count mapping in visualization chart different from statistics/table below

I indexed data from a csv file and then tried to plot data for count of events every 2 minutes. I get correct results in the statistics table, but when I see the chart in visualization, the count of events get reflected for time that is > 7 hrs from what is in the table below or statistics table. Any idea why data in statistics table not match with the visualization chart? Thanks.

Hello @sajithpv,
This can happen in case you have a timezone settings related to your role.
I would bet the the events contain a given timezone and that your role is associated with a different one (+7 hours). Can you please check?

Hi @poete, under my username->preferences, timezone was set to default. After changing this to my timezone and indexing data again, this issue got resolved. Thank you very much! Though the issue is resolved, am not still clear why data representation in the chart and table below were different, if both showed a different timestamp than what was there in the data indexed, I could understand.
