This issue doesn't appear to be with the dates per se, it is that the x-axis is sorted lexicographically (alphabetically) - either change your date format to YYYY/MM/DD or change the search so that the results are sorted by ascend time order.

Hi @lorscardala985 ,

are you speaking of the parsing phase or the search outputs ?

if in the parsing phase, the date is extracted from the log so there isn't a starting or ending date.

If you're speaking of the search output, you can change the sorting order using the sort command:

<your_search>
| sort _time
| table ...

Ciao.

It sounds like the timerange for your search is not correct - how are you setting this?

Also, event usually come back in reverse chronological order (latest first). You can reverse the order with the reverse command or sort command (using _time as the sort variable).
