I'm using summary index to get data and display in timechart. but not able to create a time chart with the data.

index = summary_dm search_name = Instance_count | table total_Instancecount _time

(total_Instancecount, _time) these are the two fields

summary in is created by using
index = application cf_org = cf_space = cf_app = instance_index = |bucket _time span=1min| dedup cf_org cf_space cf_app instance_index | timechart span=1min count(instance_index) by cf_app| addtotals fieldname = Total_instances | fields _time Total_instances

report is scheduled using above query

summary index is populated with _time total_Instancecount.

Try this:

 index = summary_dm search_name = Instance_count
 | timechart sum(Total_instances) AS Total_instances

@kirrusk what is the frequency of your summary indexing? Also how is summary index being created? For plotting timechart what is the span you are looking for

index = summary_dm search_name = Instance_count
| timechart sum(total_Instancecount) as total_Instancecount
