I want to add a trendline to this chart:

index=my_index
| timechart dc(USER) as DISTINCT_USERS

How do I accomplish this?

Thanks!

Hi

Add the trendline command after your timechart:

index=my_index
| timechart dc(USER) as DISTINCT_USERS
| trendline sma5(DISTINCT_USERS) as trend_DISTINCT_USERS

This adds a 5-point simple moving average trendline.

Adjust the window size (e.g., sma7, sma10) as needed.
