Fields above coming up as "OTHER" when I use timechart oddly, anyone know why?

index=asg "completed=" | timechart count by process_name

Usually occurs when hit the default limit of distinct values. add limt=0 to your timechart:

index=asg "completed=" | timechart limit=0 count by process_name

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/7.2.7/SearchReference/Timechart

If set to limit=0, all distinct values are used. Setting limit=N keeps the N highest scoring distinct values of the split-by field.
