timechart X axis

How can I get more then 4 marks on x axis using timechart?
In a search like this:

earliest=-1d@d latest=-0d@d sourcetype=src1 | timechart span=5m count by operation

I get the default each 6hours or each 4hours marks on X axis, and don't know how to tune it. I need each hour, or 30m marks.

Hi,
If your having it displayed on a dashboard you should use this:

 <option name="charting.scaleX">1</option>
 <option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorUnit"> P0Y0M0DT0H30M0S</option>

Hope this helps 🙂

This one doesn't work anymore for dashboards. (Using splunk 6.2)
