timechart where field name and value are both in event data

I have a database query that runs every 5 minutes. It brings back queue names and the counts of those queues. I would like to make a timechart that would show all of the queues and their counts over time.

My data comes out like this:

2017-02-09 10:51:30 QUEUE="LIFE_UpdatePolicySecurity", LIFE_QUEUE_COUNT="5"
2017-02-09 10:51:30 QUEUE="LIFE_UpdateAnnuitySecurity", LIFE_QUEUE_COUNT="38"
2017-02-09 10:51:30 QUEUE="Policy File Document", LIFE_QUEUE_COUNT="3"
2017-02-09 10:51:30 QUEUE="Annuity File Document", LIFE_QUEUE_COUNT="25"

I would like to eventually end up with a line graph that would have a line or each queue name and show the count for each over time but I'm struggling to get the stats to line up to get it there.

Have you tried ... | timechart max(LIFE_QUEUE_COUNT) by QUEUE ?

If you've 10 or more distinct QUEUEs, then add limit=0 ( or any feasible number) so that there is a line for every queue.
