Average line in area graph

I want to show an area graph with an average line trough it.
This is the search I'm using:

eventtype=windows_performance object=Process | timechart span=5m count as Alerts | appendcols [search eventtype=windows_performance object=Process | stats count as average | eval average=average/48] | eventstats first(average) as test | fields - average

What is does it create a timechart for the last 4 hours, then I search for the total number and divide it to match the timechart span (4hours = 240minutes, 240m/5m = 48)

This graph is almost showing what I want, but for the second series I want a line, not area.

Any ideas on how to to achieve this?

I have tried this sollution, but it shows colums for all series. Even a direct copy of the answer shows colums for every series. I'm using 6.0, could this be for an older version of Splunk?

Here is the current XML for it:

<dashboard>
  <label>testtest</label>
  <description/>
  <label>sample overlay simple xml</label>
  <row>
    <chart>
      <title>testgraph</title>
      <searchString>eventtype=windows_performance object=Process | timechart span=5m count as Alerts | appendcols [search eventtype=windows_performance object=Process  | stats count as average | eval average=average/48] | eventstats first(average) as test | fields - average</searchString>
      <earliestTime>-4h@m</earliestTime>
      <latestTime>now</latestTime>
      <option name="charting.chart">area</option>
      <option name="charting.chart.nullValueMode">gaps</option>
      <option name="charting.chart.sliceCollapsingThreshold">0.01</option>
      <option name="charting.chart.stackMode">default</option>

    </chart>

You might go install/look at the Splunk 6 Dashboard Examples app. In there, you'll find a working D3 example which is included with 6 that's pretty slick of a custom chart overlay which should help. Perhaps you can use that as is, or modify to suit.

Link to app

Once you have the app installed from splunkbase, go to this URL within it to see what I'm talking about:
