Splunk Search

_time not showing up in data model

I indexed some csv data which has a field called Open Time which winds up being selected as the _time and looks fine via a regular search. I can do timechart based on the data in search.

It breaks down when I throw it into a data model though. _time is not selectable as an auto-extracted attribute in the data model definition. I assume I am missing something. This is preventing me from doing timecharts within pivot.

It sounds like you started from a "root search". Try "root event" instead. In the latter case, _time should appear as one of the auto-extracted fields. I had the same issue.
