Why can't I plot timechart to investigate seasonality in index data?

[POR160893]

Hi,

I am running the following query to check seasonality in my index:
index="ABC
| timechart count by _time | timechart

Error in 'timechart' command: Repeated group-by field '_time'.
The search job has failed due to an error. You may be able view the job in the Job Inspector.However, I am receiving the following error and I do not understand it at all:

Can you please help?
Many thanks!

Hi @POR160893,

timechart has insede the command the grouping by _time so you don't need to explicitate it, in addition you cannot use timechart command without any function:

index="ABC
| timechart count

Ciao.
