How to graph timechart of top 5 processes for the metric selected by the user?

Hi All. If the user selects %_Processor_Time,then I need to show the graph for avg(%_Processor_Time) for top 5 processes that consumes %_Processor_Time. I got the top 5 processes using the search but unable to write the timechart command in the same query to display graph.

index=winserver_process sourcetype="PerfmonMk:Process" NOT instance=Idle NOT instance=_Total host="ddweng09" | eval Process=upper(instance) | table Process %_Processor_Time | sort - %_Processor_Time | dedup Process | head 5

Throw it all into a subsearch that returns the processes, then run your timechart command in the outer search:

index=winserver_process sourcetype="PerfmonMk:Process" NOT instance=Idle NOT instance=_Total host="ddweng09" [search index=winserver_process sourcetype="PerfmonMk:Process" NOT instance=Idle NOT instance=_Total host="ddweng09" | eval Process=upper(instance) | table Process %_Processor_Time | sort - %_Processor_Time | dedup Process | head 5 | fields Process] | timechart avg(%_Processor_Time) by Process
