origin: from Virtual Offsite 25th July 2024 Robert: Hard to understand what a service_name is

ideas:

add a note explaining it? tooltip? little info circle?

Services come from the <LABEL> label, this is configurable.

Link to docs that explain how to set the service names.

If you link to docs, here's the link you want. https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/setup/upgrade/#service_name-label

Is there anyway to configure/change the service_name that Grafana explore looks for to load the dropdown options? I don't expose any service_name labels, and ideally I would like to use a different label name/value to load the dropdown values.
