So i can build a timechart like this:

| timechart limit=3 span=1m count by host useother=F 

But when I export the results the time format is not readable
How to I format the _time in Timechart or how do I create this kind of chart so that I can format or convert the _time

_time sys01 sys06 srv01 srv02

@yannK , thanks for your input.
I'm not getting the exact time for the query.
For example: If I have a DateTime: 2019-12-19T15:03:20Z I see 2019-12-19T00:00:00Z
How can I get the exact DateTime for the event?

my query:
eventtype="xxxxxxx" state!=null xxxx="*" | timechart count by state | convert timeformat="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ" ctime(_time) AS DateTime | sort _time | fields - _time | table DateTime, *

Try

... | timechart limit=3 span=1m count by host useother=F | eval Time=strftime(_time,"%H:%M:%S") | table Time,*

Use of convert is considered deprecated, so the eval will accomplish the same thing, then table will reorder the columns.
