Visualization not working after extracting values from raw data

Raw Value:

 

logtype=audit 2020-06-15T12:25:52,650| tid:SDFGH3456gtbhjcfdt$%| AUTHN_REQUEST| | 38 | | 123| | asdxc| AS| ss| | | 40 

 

Query:

 

index = "PF.log" 
| eval fields=split(_raw,"|")
| eval response=mvindex(fields,13)
| timechart values(response) BY host

 

I am interested in the last value which is 40 in this example. I tried converting the value tonumber and tried other conversion techniques which doesn't seem to work for some reason.

@srizan you would need to add trim if you are plotting it on chart as regular split with your data will have space around response value. 

| eval response=trim(mvindex(fields,13))

@niketn Thank you! That worked!! I was using rex to extract the value but this seems to be cleaner approach.

If you switch to the Statistics tab do you see data?  Are the _time, response, and host fields present?

I was able to work around using rex to extract the value. Still unsure why conversion did not work.
