How do we get event count from 2 dates. Something like this -

              2/11/18            3/11/18           4/11/18

Event1 12 15 10
Event2 50 60 78

index =ind_prod...|eval abctime=strptime(abctime, "%Y-%m-%d") | search abctime>=$t.earliest$ AND abctime=$t.latest$

I tried above query, but it is not working

Assuming that your conversion of abctime is correct (A BIG ASSUMPTION) and your other field is called Event (a guess), try this (you were missing a < for one thing):

index =ind_prod...
| eval abctime=strptime(abctime, "%Y-%m-%d")
| search abctime>=$t.earliest$ AND abctime<=$t.latest$
| bin _time span=1d
| eval _time = strftime(_time, "%m/%d/%Y")
| chart count BY event _time

I want count for 2 specific date, something like this :
31-Jul 24-Jul
SessionCount 100000 150000
X Count 2000 2200
Y Count 100 200

You have said that several times. Show us a few RAW EVENTS, note what fields are where inside of tohse events, and then show us a mockup of the final output that would be generated from JUST those events.

If you need 2 specific dates, then just set your Time picker to cover that timespan.

You have not shown us what the events look like (where abctime is).

instead of abctime we can take _time

@ataunk ,

index =ind_prod|eval date=strftime(_time,"%Y-%m-%d")|chart count over event_name by date

where event_name is field name of your events
