Multi Line Graph from Multiple Hosts

I am looking to create a simple multiline graph from the following logs:

Hostname=host1 cpu_percentage=X etc..
Hostname=host2 cpu_percentage=Y etc..
Hostname=host3 cpu_percentage=Z etc..

Basically looking for a timechart of cpu_percentage by Hostname over time. I have tried searching for a simple example similar to this but cannot seem to find anything. I tried using this:

search>sourcetype=performance_logs | table _time,Hostname,cpu_percentage

Is what I am looking to do possible or will I need to overlay each graph separately?

Thank you for your time,
HMC
