I am using timechart to build a graph for the last 7 days. the chart by default uses _time as the format for the Graph. I would like the output to only show timeformat="%A" Day of the week format

Can you help? I have this code

convert _time to day after the timechart, but keep the sort by _time, then remove the column.


* | timechart span=1d count by source | convert timeformat="%d" ctime(_time) AS day | sort _time | fields - _time | table day *
