Splunk Search

Selecting which fields to plot based on subsearch

Hi,
I am trying to create a timechart which data would be based on a subsearch. Here is what I have so far :

index=perf_mon test_nvidia |  | timechart bins=100 [search  | rex mode=sed field=gpus "s/GPU(\d+)/avg(mem_used\1_GB) as GPU\1,/g" | nomv gpus | rename gpus as search| format "" "" "" "" "" "by host" | rex mode=sed field=search "s/\"//g"]

The first search yields fields named

mem_used0_GB
...
mem_used7_GB

Now, the subsearch

| rex mode=sed field=gpus "s/GPU(\d+)/avg(mem_used\1_GB) as GPU\1,/g" | nomv gpus | rename gpus as search| format "" "" "" "" "" "by host" | rex mode=sed field=search "s/\"//g"
produces a single field called "search", which contains : 
 avg(mem_used4_GB) as GPU4, avg(mem_used5_GB) as GPU5, by host 

However, when I add the subsearch to the timechart command, Splunk gives me the error :

Error in 'timechart' command: The argument ' avg(mem_used5_GB)' is invalid. 

What am I doing wrong ?

I have not managed to do it within the timechart command. However, it works if I first do it in a "fields" command, aka :

index=perf_mon test_nvidia | fields [search ... ],_*,host | timechart ...
