Hi Olivier, please take a look at [How to split lines based on a term in Timelion using split() or other?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-split-lines-based-on-a-term-in-timelion-using-split-or-other/85851/3) for more information on using `split` in Timelion. Converting values to lowercase isn't part of Timelion, though. To do that part, you'll need to create a scripted field under Management \> Index Patterns \> Scripted Fields. You'll need to configure it as type "string" with a script like this:

```auto
doc['name_of_your_field_here'].value.toLowerCase()

```

Then set your Timelion graph to split using this scripted field.

Hope this helps,  
CJ
