How to edit my timechart search to display time on the x-axis and duration on the y-axis?

eventtype=cv "Source Client"=* "Destination Client"=slc-p-res* OR dab* Duration=* | convert ctime(_time) | convert dur2sec(Duration) AS Durationsec | eval Durationhrs=round(Durationsec/60/60,2) | fields - "Destination Client" | table _time Durationhrs 

Returns a beautiful table with time and duration in hours.

I want to have a line chart that shows time as the X axis, and duration as the Y axis, however

eventtype=cv "Source Client"=* "Destination Client"=slc-p-res* OR dab* Duration=* | convert ctime(_time) | convert dur2sec(Duration) AS Durationsec | eval Durationhrs=round(Durationsec/60/60,2) | fields - "Destination Client" | timechart span=1d sum(Durationhrs)

Returns only the time stamp, and the Duration column is empty.

What am I doing wrong?

Take out convert ctime(_time) from your search

Timechart expects the time field in epoch format not ASCII.
