How to make a linechart with a table and multiple lines

I want to make a presentation in a dashboard where I can see a line per service with the duration of each call of that service. 

I have made a table in splunk and would create a linechart wiht multiple lines (per service a line) with duration in y-as en time in x-as. How can i do that? Or is there another way to get that done?

my search:

index=test sourcetype=test-performance duration>0 | convert timeformat="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%:z" ctime(_time) AS date | table date, metric, duration | sort by date

some events from the table.
