timechart not working

Hello
I have this query :

index="report" Computer_Name="*"  |chart dc(Category__Names_of_Patches) as totalNumberOfPatches by Computer_Name
| eval exposure_level = case(
    totalNumberOfPatches >= 3 AND totalNumberOfPatches <= 6, "Low Exposure",
    totalNumberOfPatches >= 7 AND totalNumberOfPatches <= 10, "Medium Exposure", 
    totalNumberOfPatches >= 11, "High Exposure", 
    totalNumberOfPatches == 2, "Compliant",
    totalNumberOfPatches == 1, "<not reported>",
    1=1,"other"
  )

| stats count(Computer_Name) as totalNumberOfPatches by exposure_level

| eval category=exposure_level

Looks like I've lost the _time field on the way so when im trying to run timechart im getting no results

Correct, after the stats command you will only have totalNumberOfPatches and exposure_level. If you need _time after this point it should be added to the by clause, however, you may wish to bin it first, or replace the stats command with timechart

Well, ive changed it to this :

| eval category=exposure_level
| timechart span=1d count(Computer_Name) as totalNumberOfPatches by category

but still no results

Sorry, I missed the chart command on your first line. This is the command which is removing the timestamps.
