How do I create a timechart by month, but starting with the 15th day of the month? (15th - 14th)

Hi,

I'm trying to timechart by month, but starting at the 15th of the month. I've looked for "offsets", but I can't seem to find anything helpful.

Can someone point me in the correct direction?

Thanks
Mark

This is what I've tried and seems to be working fine but I've only got two months worth of data so ...

index=_internal
| eval mytime = if(date_mday<=15, _time, _time+(15*24*60*60))
| bucket mytime span=1mon
| eval month = strftime(mytime, "%B")
| chart count over mytime by month
| eval mytime = "Mid-" . strftime(mytime, "%B")

try like :

your_base_search ... date_mday>=15| timechart span=1months count

example:

index = _internal date_mday>=15| timechart span=1months count
