Customizable axis labels

[AlexIoannides]

It would be really useful if chart axis labels could be edited - e.g. instead of 'count of documents' as a y-axis label, I'd really like the ability to relabel it as 'number of observations', etc.

+1000, 8 months and counting, it's about time this issue was addressed. For us this is a serious problem in terms of acceptance.

We're in the process of completely reworking the charting library and putting that out in the near future.

@panda01 That's excellent news and I am very grateful to hear this! Will this end up in a version of Kibana that is compatible with ES 1.7? (If not it's bad luck, but just so I know what direction to go forward with in the near future)

@michaelredfox we don't backport new features, mainly only bug fixes.

+1, this would be a really useful feature

Hi, I worked around the problem by using "Filters" type in "Sub aggregation". Then I setup my filter (the name of the original label) then I click on the gear and write your custom label name!

As a picture may be easier to understand:

I hope it will help some of you.

That label would be even more useful if users could specify the label to be derived from an existing field or a combination of existing fields

When is the earliest this feature will be available?

+1 "Percentile ranks of Average latency" is not human, it would be better to cusomize it and make it more friendly, as you did with the buckets.

+1 Customizable label for fields at the Index Schema (format) level + over-rides at Dashboard level

I just want to be able to change the label text, anything above and beyond that would just be icing on the cake. Sometimes my dashboards just say "count" as a label and other times old unused legacy terms.

Having the ability to change the labels of fields per visualization will definitely be a most welcomed feature.

+1 Would love to be able to replace Kibana 3 with 4, but losing screen real estate to a dozen '@timestamp per 5 minutes' labels and x-axis markers means we can't display the same amount of information without buying higher resolution monitors.

+1 to this...this feature was standard in Kibana 3 by pinning and giving a Legend Value, is completely missing with Kibana 4, and is now an "enhancement" in Kibana 5.I'm in exactly the same boat as @AlexClineBB.....Kibana 4 is cluttered with useless junk that I have no control over.

Could I suggest that this is a P2 issue as opposed to P3 issue?

Personally, being able to give a specific name to an axis is more than just a "nice to have" - it's the top request we get from all our users, who often get confused with the auto-generated axis labels. I'm not aware of any obvious work-around and judging from the above, I reckon it could be classified as "broadly applicable".

Thanks.

Thanks!
