Hi,

the following pic shows the chart in the left hand side,  i want a drilldown based on time when i click on the graph. for example when i click on the spike value-49, i should get all the values for that time when the spike has happened.

$click.value$ will give you the value from the x-axis. You can use this to frame your drilldown query

i am not able to get the drilldown from the x-axis. 

 

This is my code: 

(index=hc_trials OR index=hc_prod) (HCREBOOT) $hubprod$ ($sversion1$) ($region$) $excludetest$

| search version="$form.sversion1$"
| fields + mac resetid deviceid version _time
| bin span=$spanres$ _time
| stats dc(mac) AS devices BY resetid version _time deviceid

| WHERE resetid = "HW"
| timechart sum(devices) span=$spanres$ by version

$click.value$ is the corresponding value from the x-axis. What you probably need to is use it to calculate the earliest and latest times for your subsequent panel

        <drilldown>
          <eval token="select_start_hour">relative_time($click.value$, "@h")</eval>
          <eval token="select_end_hour">relative_time($select_start_hour$, "+1h@h")</eval>
        </drilldown>

Then use 

earliest=$select_start_hour$ latest=$select_end_hour$

 Obviously, you may need to adjust the values calculated depending on your need.
