Multiple Queries on a single panel show the same Display Name

[rcjcooke]

Hi,

I have a custom built service that I use SimPod to communicate with to populate Grafana. When I query my source I pick the metric I want and pass through some custom JSON to define the specifics of what I want for that metric. I want to show the same metric for 4 different configurations on the same chart panel.

This works fine in that I can show 4 lines on the chart, however despite the Query names all being different, the Display Name being used for each Query in the Legend of the chart is the same, either "Value" on a TimeSeries panel or "[object Object] on a Graph panel as shown in the screenshot below.

Where is this sourced from? Is this something I can control from my data source or is it something that simPod defines? What I would like is for the Query name to be the Display Name, e.g. "Taiichi" in the example above would be seen on the chart's Legend.

A dump of the query and response data (with most of the data points removed to make it more readable) can be found here in case that's useful in diagnosing the problem.

I'm driving right now but you can find it in query response in the docs. The "pps in" should name your series

Thanks for the quick response. I get the series name under the "refId" in the request (maybe because it's a timeseries type?). My response looks like the following at the moment, is that incorrect?

The request I receive is as follows:

      "targets": [
        {
          "refId": "Taiichi",
          "data": {
            "toStatus": "Deployed",
            "projectKey": "ENG",
            "teamId": 13,
            "addBugsDefault": false
          },
          "target": "Rolling 2 week velocity",
          "type": "timeseries",
          "hide": false,
          "datasource": "Jira Metrics"
        },

The response I reply with is:

  "response": [
    {
      "target": {
        "refId": "Taiichi",
        "data": {
          "toStatus": "Deployed",
          "projectKey": "ENG",
          "teamId": 13,
          "addBugsDefault": false
        },
        "target": "Rolling 2 week velocity",
        "type": "timeseries",
        "hide": false,
        "datasource": "Jira Metrics"
      },
      "datapoints": [
        [
          6,
          1643190563635
        ],
        [
          6,
          1643192363635
        ],
        [
          8,
          1645782563635
        ]
      ]
    },

You will have to investigate how it is translated to dataframe by Grafana (link to the function is also in Readme) However, you have an object under target and not string and I guess that's the reason why ure getting [object] as series name

OK thanks, I'll take a look at that in more detail.

[simPod]

Yup. The format specified in readme works. You're using different format which might not be wrong, grafana supports more formats when converting to dataframe. But I still think the object in target is not supported.
