How to create a bin of bins?
I need to create a "bin of bins"... in other words... each bin contains a bin. I desire to create a histogram (chart) in each bin. Why do I want to do this?
I want to apply SPLUNK to logged test data. I have thousands of events structured as follows:
TST_NAME UP_LIM LO_LIM ACT_VAL
So in my "bin of bins", the first bin holds the TST_NAME, while the second bin holds the histogram (chart) of that named bin.
Is there a way to create a bin of bins?

@Lynyrd, can you add sample output data or image to explain what exactly you need? What is the query for histogram that you have? If you are on Splunk 6.6. or higher you can explore the Trellis command to split same visualization into several parts using by TST_NAME. However, community members would not be able to assist much without further details.
Refer to Trellis Layout in Splunk Documentation:

Hi Lynyrd, your comment was sitting for Moderators to review and publish. I have done the same.

I need a histogram for each TP and there will be thousands of TP's. The database I work with has thousands of events just like you see below and I need to analyse the normal distribution of each TP to determine if there is a problem with any given TP.
TST_NAME UP_LIM LO_LIM ACTAUL
TP29 -20 20 3.7
TP29 -20 20 3.3
TP29 -20 20 -4.2

TP29 -20 20 2.8
TP29 -20 20 -1.9
