We had PS create a report but, I can't seem to figure out what setting he set to show a time base chart without a time-based command.   He didn't use dashboard.   The graphic only shows on the report?  I want the ability to do similar type of visualization but, I can't figure what setting cause the visual output.

I'd figure it out.  It's saving the report with the Visualization tab.  Thanks for your help in point me towards the right direction.

The x-axis of a chart is usually the first field / column in the result events used for the chart. Check your search query to ensure that the fields are in the correct order.

Here is the SPL

index=$masked$_oracle src!=$masked$* dest=$masked$* ACTION_NAME IN ("*CREATE*","*ALTER*","*DROP*","*EXECUTE*") AND SQL_TEXT IN ("*CREATE TABLE*","*DROP TABLE*","*ALTER TABLE*","*TRUNCATE TABLE*","*CREATE FUNCTION*","*ALTER FUNCTION*","*DROP FUNCTION*","*CREATE PACKAGE BODY*","*ALTER PACKAGE BODY*","*DROP PACKAGE BODY*","*CREATE PACKAGE*","*ALTER PACKAGE*","*DROP PACKAGE*")
| stats values(user) as user values(ACTION_NAME) as dbSQLCommand, values(CLIENT_PROGRAM_NAME) as dbdlient dc(CLIENT_PROGRAM_NAME) as App_Making_chage_count dc(ACTION_NAME) as distinctSQLCommandsPerformed earliest(_time) as mostRecentTime by src, dest, SQL_TEXT
| convert ctime(mostRecentTime) 
| sort - mostRecentTime

 Here is the .conf

action.keyindicator.invert = 0
action.makestreams.param.verbose = 0
action.nbtstat.param.verbose = 0
action.notable.param.verbose = 0
action.nslookup.param.verbose = 0
action.ping.param.verbose = 0
action.risk.forceCsvResults = 1
action.risk.param.verbose = 0
action.send2uba.param.verbose = 0
action.threat_add.param.verbose = 0
action.webhook.enable_allowlist = 0
alert.track = 0
auto_summarize = 1
auto_summarize.dispatch.earliest_time = -3mon@d
cron_schedule = 0 1 * * 1
description = ```SRB Update: adjusted ACTION_NAME & SQL_TEXT Search Analyst-JYS : A/U-2024/01/10 : R/A-2024/01/12```\
dispatch.latest_time = now
display.general.type = statistics
display.page.search.mode = fast
display.page.search.tab = statistics
enableSched = 1
request.ui_dispatch_view = search
search = index=$masked$_oracle src!=$masked$* dest=$masked$* ACTION_NAME IN ("*CREATE*","*ALTER*","*DROP*","*EXECUTE*") AND SQL_TEXT IN ("*CREATE TABLE*","*DROP TABLE*","*ALTER TABLE*","*TRUNCATE TABLE*","*CREATE FUNCTION*","*ALTER FUNCTION*","*DROP FUNCTION*","*CREATE PACKAGE BODY*","*ALTER PACKAGE BODY*","*DROP PACKAGE BODY*","*CREATE PACKAGE*","*ALTER PACKAGE*","*DROP PACKAGE*")\

 I don't see any where the visualization is set.  could you rephase "The x-axis of a chart is usually the first field / column in the result events used for the chart. Check your search query to ensure that the fields are in the correct order."  I don't get it because there is no chart command or setting in the report.

The first field mentioned in the by clause of the final stats command (which is src) will be / is your x-axis (see your graphic)

Yes.  src is on the by clause, how do you display on the graph above the report & then table of the search results on the bottom for save report?

Or Am I not asking the question correctly?

OK Now I understand what you mean - you could try creating a dashboard and schedule that as a PDF delivery - iirc this has to be Classic not Studio
