How to graph the memory usage of a particular process?

I m trying to find out the search query to use in order to graph on a timeline the memory usage of a particular process or group of processes.

For example, I would like to graph splunkd memory usage over time on a particular set of server(s)

host="util-web*" source="ps" | multikv fields COMMAND filter splunkd | timechart ...

I don't know how to tell timechart that I want to sum one the ps memory column per host.

Thank you in advance for your help,
