Frequency Distribution charts?

How can I compute a frequency distribution chart?

For example I want to take the time_taken from my IIS web-server log and plot it as a frequency distribution chart to figure out the execution time distribution.

So I can create images like the one below to figure out how well my actual server response time is like.

If you want to use absolute values, just doing something like this should be enough (unless I'm misinterpreting what you want):

... | stats count by time_taken

...then go into the stats option and choose a line chart.

If you have many unique values for time_taken and want to group them together, you could use the bucket command for that.
