Hi,  
I moved Influxdb/Chronograf from 1.x to 2.x and what I’m missing in the Chronograf visualisation is the ability to name/legend the displayed graph data lines. For instance, when I have a query on data named “sensor\_temperature\_room\_1”, the name will be displayed as such. In Chronograf 1.x, there was a possibility to query "“sensor\_temperature\_room\_1 as Bedroom Temperature” in order to show a more friendly name in the graphs

Is that possible in Chronograf 2?

cheers

Hello @JanC ,  
You can change the Y axis label. Does that help you?

Hi,  
what I’m looking for is the static legend. It’s [documented here](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/visualize-data/visualization-types/graph/#graph-with-linear-interpolation-and-static-legend) but I don’t find the option **Static Legend Show**

I’m using influxdb v2.0.8

cheers

Hi! I have encountered the same problem @JanC is describing.  
In Chronograf v1, it was pretty easy to assign “alias” to the measurements, so for example, instead of displaying the full route of the variable, you could say “Temperature-01”.  
Now I have a big name of the last value, for example:

Is there any option I did not check, or maybe with FluxQL?  
Is there any roadmap to have this again in Chronograf v2?

Best,  
Roberto.
