Use value in log file to draw chart

Dear Splunkies,

I am very happy with Splunk so far, but ran into one issue, I stuck.

I got a log file, containing a timestamp and a value, example below:

2015-05-18 1:53:30 Count=12

I want to use the Count (here 12) as value to display a chart but it usually displays a list of Count entire, found in my log file.

I'm pretty sure it's a very simple thing, but right now I don't see it.

Please advice.

Thanks very much

T.

Hi again.
I found a solution, by using field extractor to describe a field named "UserCount". then I used the following query to create a bar chart:

source="/opt/webants-dns/logs/ddnscount.log" | stats avg(UserCount) by _time | reverse | head 10

Thank you all.
