Hi @Sukisen1981

Thanks for the reply my time field is called lastUpdated and the value looks like this : 2019-04-16T04:28:58+02:00

So when i try to put span=1mon it atually gives all records rather than spanning it for 1 month.
Do i need to edit the lastUpdated field to get only the date rather than the full date and time ?

Please help

hi @surekhasplunk
Yes , remember I am applying the bin command on _time , but you have a custom time field, so
| eval lastUpdated=strptime(lastUpdated,"%Y-%m-%d") |eval _time=lastUpdated|bin span=1mon _time |rest of the stuff....
