How to do timechart on a field that has same name but different alert level?

Hi,

I have a log with a field call "Event_Types" and then another field call "Alert Level" .
In my logs there is an event call "Ping" but this "Ping" has 2 Alert Levels 6 and 10.
I want to do a timechart on Event_Types but also want to show that there are 2 pings with different alert levels counted over time. How should I search for it?

Alert_Level > 6 | timechart count(Event_Types) as Event_Types count(Alert_Level) will show "The argument 'count(Alert_Level)' is invalid."

Give this a try
Updated: Fixed typo with field name

your base search | eval EventType=Event_Types.":".Alert_Level | timechart count by EventType

OR

your base search  | where Alert_Level > 6 | eval EventType=Event_Types.":".Alert_Level | timechart count by EventType

@wuming79, there was a typo in my original answer (thanks @niketnilay for pointing that one out), which may be causing that NULL column name. Try the updated answer.

@somesoni2, I think field name is Event_Types and not Event_Type.
@wuming79, can you please confirm the field names Event_Types and Alert_Level?

Are you trying a query like the following?

| where Alert_Level > 6 | timechart count(Event_Types) as Event_Types count(Alert_Level) as Alert_Level

Hi sorry, I made a mistake, I need it to display "|Alert_Level > 6 | timechart count(Event_Types) by Event_Types count(Alert_Level) "
