I have a log in the following format:

username=nan time=09:00 operation=login
username=ver time=10:00 opertiaon=logout
username=ves time=09:00 operation=login
username=ves time=10:00 opetaion=logout

I need the output in the following format as a scatter plot. I am able to make it in a table, but not in scatter chart.

Hey Venkat,

Why not try something like this?

... | timechart count(eval(operation="login")) as logins, count(eval(operation="logout")) as logouts by username

Then chose a bar/column chart visualization?

Hi aljohnson_splunk,
Thanks for the response, but we have more than 30+ users and 5 to 6 operations , in that case the following solution gives
"These results may be truncated. Your search generated too much data for the current visualization configuration." notifaction

Change the time range and the span, e.g.

... earliest=-2w | timechart span=1d count(eval(operation="operation1")) as operation1 .... and so on
