I am trying to create a line chart and it has date as x-axis and some category as y axis. I could see "Mon Jul 8" on x axis but the data point is not above it, it is showing data point on left of it i.e for Jul 7. PFB the screenshot

I want the data point for the label below.

The labels on the X-axis are likely a result of whatever charting command your are using. Without seeing your original query, I'm guessing that you are using timechart and specifying span=1w or you are not specifying a time span and it is defaulting to one week. In either case, if you would like the X-axis to show labels for each day, modify your timechart to include span=1d. For example:

| timechart span=1d count by host
