@tnoelOTS, I think you meant $CU$ in your code not ?CU? . Nevertheless, only if correct field name Action is not picked up by any sourcetype the timechart command would show NULL field alone.
Following is a run anywhere dashboard based on three sourcetypes from Splunk's _internal index i.e. splunkd_access, splunkd_ui_access, splunk_web_access with common field called method available in all three.
I have just added default values for CU and Span dropdown and added a Time Picker. PS: default value of space in Span implies Splunk will pick up span based on selected timerange.
