I have the following query:

index=msahc sourcetype=msahc_raw | rex "(?<json_field>{[^}]+})" | mvexpand json_field | spath input=json_field | search ACT | eval DateTime=_time | convert timeformat="%x" ctime(DateTime) | bucket DateTime span=1d | rename "IDM Access" as "IDM_Access", "FACTS Database Access" as "FACTS_Database_Access" | table IDM_Access | chart var(Field="IDM_Access") as Fields count(eval(IDM_Access=="False")) as False count(eval(IDM_Access=="True")) as True | append [search index=msahc sourcetype=msahc_raw | rex "(?<json_field>{[^}]+})" | mvexpand json_field | spath input=json_field | search ACT | eval DateTime=_time | convert timeformat="%x" ctime(DateTime) | bucket DateTime span=1d | rename "IDM Access" as "IDM_Access", "FACTS Database Access" as "FACTS_Database_Access" | table FACTS_Database_Access | chart var(Field="FACTS_Database_Access") as Fields count(eval(FACTS_Database_Access=="False")) as False count(eval(FACTS_Database_Access=="True")) as True]

That generates the following bar chart:

How can I get the bar chart to display the name of the "Fields", such as IDM_Access and FACTS_Database_Access?

Give this a try. (Remove some dead code, merged both searches to get output with single search [no subsearch])

 index=msahc sourcetype=msahc_raw | rex "(?<json_field>{[^}]+})" | mvexpand json_field | spath input=json_field | search ACT | rename "IDM Access" as "IDM_Access", "FACTS Database Access" as "FACTS_Database_Access" | table IDM_Access FACTS_Database_Access | eval temp=1 | untable temp FieldName Value | chart count over FieldName by Value

That worked perfectly! Thank you so much. I got the idea. Reducing redundancy makes the search way cleaner and way quicker.

@gcescatto,
Please ensure to format the splunk search/code using code sample formatter (button about the editing area labeled 101010 or by using Ctrl+K key after selecting the code.
