How to supress the x axis label in timechart

I use a lot of timechart searches for a dashboard, each of them showing the "_time" label in the x-axis.

As it is clear that the x-axis is based on time I would like to suppress the "_time" label in the x-axis completely to gain more space i.e. to add more height to the charts.

Saving my searches the x-Axis Title is empty. Is there a way to free the space consumed by the unnecessary default label "_time"?

Thanks

I have the same problem with 5.0.1 on Windows x64.

How did you solve this? I am using splunk storm.

I am using version 4.3 build 115073 for Windows x64.



I noticed this behavior only with the "timechart" function when integrating the timecharts into dashboards. The "_time" x axis title does not appear while using "timechart" in the Advanced Charting.

I did and the "_time" did disappear. Using a space in the X-Axis Title shows an empty white space as a placeholder. BUT - I would like to free the space so that the graph has more vertical space to expand. The white space uses about 25px in height showing nothing while the graph is narrowed vertically.

What version of Splunk are you using, and in which views are you seeing this? In version 4.3, both the timeline and charting views don't have _time on the x-axis. You can use HiddenChartFormatter or XAxisTitleFormatter modules to specify a title, otherwise there shouldn't be one.
