I want to create graphs with stat data, but I've realized that this is impossible as far as I understood kibana correctly.

I just wrote a big nagios performance data filter for logstash, and just realized I can't create visualizations which make sense.
For example:
How can I create a metric number with the current RAM Usage over multiple host?
How can I create a line chart with RAM Usage over one day (x=Date Histogram, y=Ram Usage)?
This seems impossible because I always get the sum of the stat data which clearly doesn't make any sense.
Kibana Filter: host:vmhost* AND nagios.service.raw:"VMware ESXi Host Memory"
Data example:
{host:vmhost1.example.org, nagios.service:"VMware ESXi Host Memory": 133,000, nagios.unit:"MB"}
{host:vmhost2.example.org, nagios.service:"VMware ESXi Host Memory": 70,000, nagios.unit:"MB"}
{host:vmhost1.example.org, nagios.service:"VMware ESXi Host Memory": 134,430, nagios.unit:"MB"}
{host:vmhost2.example.org, nagios.service:"VMware ESXi Host Memory": 69,545, nagios.unit:"MB"}
{host:vmhost1.example.org, nagios.service:"VMware ESXi Host Memory": 152,430, nagios.unit:"MB"}
{host:vmhost2.example.org, nagios.service:"VMware ESXi Host Memory": 65,444, nagios.unit:"MB"}
