Add a space between  the two timechart functions. E.g. 

| timechart avg(event.Properties.duration) stdev(event.Properties.duration)

Also, you can remove the 

| iplocation

 as we aren't using any of the fields that command adds for this visualization, so it will only slow down the search.

Hi @jaibalaraman,

You can calculate the mean and standard deviation using the stats command:

| stats avg(event.Properties.duration) as u stdev(event.Properties.duration) as s

however, that won't produce a chart.

At a glance, your data is not normally distributed. You can generate a simple histogram with the chart command:

| chart count over event.Properties.duration span=31

If you have Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit installed, you can use the histogram macro and visualization:

| `histogram("event.Properties.duration", 31)`

Note that the histogram macro uses the bin command:

bin "$var$" bins=$bins$ | stats count by "$var$" | makecontinuous "$var$" | fillnull count

It won't necessarily honor your bin count.

What type of graph or visualization would you like to create?

The below 2 commands are not working 

| `histogram("event.Properties.duration", 31)`

bin "$var$" bins=$bins$ | stats count by "$var$" | makecontinuous "$var$" | fillnull count

 

What type of graph or visualization would you like to create?

Just want to create a dashboard tile to show the metric
