Hi, I am trying to compare the number of events from last month to the prior month. So January and February and display the trend line using timechart. I am trying this search:

eventtype=incident type=Email earliest=-2mon (classification=Malicious OR classification="Malware") | timechart span=1month count

The problem is that it is displaying this month (March) compared to last month and not last month to February.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
