I want a running line chart telling me how many issues had a custom field with a selection of X

[Dave Collins]

So, I have a Custom Field, called 'Stage'. There are 5 options to choose. I want a line graph showing for a running daily check, how many issues had a 'Stage' of 1, 2, 3, 4 (4 of the possible 5 options). Using a JIRA query to populate the rows in my table. 

Something like (I know this isn't proper query)

First query:

stage = one (on date 1/1/2015)

Second query:

stage = one (on date 1/2/2015)

Am I making sense? The chart would look similar to below.

On JIRA Server with the Dataplane plugin this is easy using the Issue Values Snapshots by Date report.

I don't know how to do it with naked JIRA without any plugins.

In JIRA Cloud you might be able to do it with the EazyBI plugin.

@Doug Swartz suggestion for EazyBI seems to be the solution, and more. Thanks, Doug!
