Splunk Search

Sum of new events over time

Hi all!
I'm new to Splunk and I'm having trouble making my search correct.
I've tried searching but found no case exactly like mine.

the problem:
I have a log with many 'Events', each event has a status: New/Old.
Old means it has been dealt with.
I would like to make a line-chart that will show the total number of new events over time.
My chart:
alt text

The way the chart should look:
alt text

This is what I've tried so far:
host="MyHost" Status="New" | timechart count(Status)
... | timechart sum(Status)
... | timechart sum(count(Status))

Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks!

This should do what you need:

host="MyHost" Status="New" | timechart count | accum count

That will turn the count per timeslot into a running total.
