2015-12-2 ------ 1
2015-12-1 ------ 4
2015-11-30 ------ 5

if count and CreateDate fields exit after you run your_DB_search try simplily:

<your_DB_search>| timechart span=1months sum(count) by CreatedDate usenull=f useother=f

If the field CreatedDate is not detected as a valid date, you can convert it.
see http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.1511/SearchReference/Convert

<mysearch>
| convert timeformat="%Y-%m-%d" ctime(CreatedDate) AS NewCreatedDate
| bucket span=1month NewCreatedDate
 | stats sum(count) AS total_count by NewCreatedDate
