Try something like this

If date_hour is available in your data

your search  date_hour>=9 AND date_hour<17 | your timechart command

If date_hour is not present,

your search | eval date_hour=strftime(_time,"%H") | where  date_hour>=9 AND date_hour<17 | your timechart command

Hi,

You need a where clause using date_hour, and then you'll probably want to increase the bins, or use the bucket command to help show time periods when there isnt data:

 index=_internal | where date_hour>=9 AND date_hour<=17 | timechart count bins=1000
