TimeChart by 2 fields

I am trying to create a timechart by 2 fields
Here is what I tried:
source=abc CounterName="\Process(System)\% Processor Time"| timechart span=1h avg(CounterValue) by RoleInstance CounterName

Any idea how this could be achieved?

span is not working with chart. But I tried something below which works for me
chart perc90(s), count(s) by host

Something like this

source=abc CounterName="\Process(System)\% Processor Time" | eval Role_Counter=RoleInstance + "#" + CounterName| timechart span=1h avg(CounterValue) by Role_Counter

timechart values(foo) by bar
Is the same like
chart values(foo) over_time by bar
But like linu said chart can have more then one by clause

This is an older one - but for reference:

I don't think, that this is completely true. chart can have a and a . It's more flexible than timechart as the can be something other than _time. But you only have these to split-options (I believe, it was the same in 2014 with version 6.0.# or older).

If I'm wrong, just tell me so I can learn more and more...

chart does support more fields. why to limit urself with timechart. They almost do the same.

Time chart just work with one field in "by" clause. You can concatenate multiple field into one and use in timechart.

You can concat both the fields into one field and do a timechart on that.
