It will be a 3 step process, (xyseries will give data with 2 columns x and y).

Step 1) Concatenate your x-host and x-ipaddress into 1 field, say temp
Step 2) Run your xyseries with temp y-name-sourcetype y-data-value.
Step 3) Use Rex/eval-split to separate temp as x=host and x-ipaddress

Sample:

index=_internal | stats count by sourcetype source component | eval temp=source."#".component | xyseries temp sourcetype count
| rex field=temp "(?<source>.*)#(?<component>.*)" | fields - temp
