Graphing windows system from uptime to downtime

I have a query that provides windows startup, ending and duration - however I was looking for a way to graph this?

The query is:

SourceName=EventLog EventCode=6005 OR EventCode=6006 | transaction host startswith=6005 endswith=6006

I'm looking for a graphical representation of when the small number of PC's are switched on until they are switched off.

Any ideas?

I'm not quite sure what you're looking for in a graph, but here's a stab in the dark:

SourceName=EventLog EventCode=6005 OR EventCode=6006 | eval upordown = if(EventCode=6005, -1, 1)
| streamstats sum(upordown) as pcCount | timechart avg(pcCount)

This basically treats each event as either a +1 or a -1, and tots up the running total before charting it. Experiment with sorting the data either way before the streamstats, depending on what you want to see you'll get weird-looking results one way or the other.

Another way to approach this is using transaction | concurrency:

SourceName=EventLog EventCode=6005 OR EventCode=6006 | transaction host startswith=6005 endswith=6006
| concurrency duration = duration | timechart avg(concurrency) as pcCount

Try both and see what you like more.
