How to Custom Name Labels

[vanimox]

Within Grafana, I have several sensors collecting data, but I am unsure of how to give a ‘friendly’ name to the sensors below the graph.

Here’s a screenshot of what I am referring to: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Thank you very much for the help!

Hi @vanimox ,

Welcome to the community forum !!

For naming labels you need to assign them an alias (where you name for e.g. a-complex-device-id = easy-alias)

Please check this post as it is also on the same topic.

Use 'query name' as 'Display name' to label series in graph

I have a Time series graph, and in the legend, all of its lines are labelled as ‘Count’. [image] I’d like to use the query name which I specified in the input that says ‘Edit query name’ (‘foo’ in this screenshot’) as the labels in the legend. [image] I see that there’s a field called ‘Display name’ under ‘Standard options’. How can I use the query name?

Hope this helps.

hello,

you can add “label to field” transformation to be able to display correctly your legend value
or you can add |>group() function i believe to gather all your data in the same table.
should have the same result.

Even easier (in my opinion) is to use a transformation (Standard options > Display name):

I need exactly what the override above does but I’d need it on more panels. Is there a way to centralise this kind of override?

I also need this to be generalized - were you able to figure this out?
