Change color-label names

[johnkary]

Hi to all the great team!
I have an index with 2 docs where i store active / inactive systems (one doc for 'active' and the other doc for 'inactive'). This index is refreshed every 10 minutes with new values of active / inactive systems.

How can i change the color - label names in top right of my pie chart as it is shown in the image below? I just want to display 'active' for the green and 'inactive' for the blue.

Hi @johnkary,

can you how the chart is configured (metrics and buckets) and how your data looks like?

Hi @flash1293 and thanks for the quick response!

Here is the details you asked for:

I see, thanks for the details.

If you control the ingested data, consider changing the shape of your documents to something like:
{ type: "active", count: 24 }
{ type: "inactive", count: 2 }

Then you can create your pie chart by using a terms agg on the type field for your slices and a sum agg on count for your values. the pie chart will pick up the type values as labels for the legend automatically.

Hi again!
Thanks! I did what you said and is ok at some point (i mean the label on top right), but i lost the numbers on the circle. Is there any way to keep my numbers there?

Unfortunately the pie chart will always show percentages, not total values.

If you know for sure there will always be 2 documents in your index, you could put the count in the type as well:
{ type: "active 24", count: 24 }
{ type: "inactive 2", count: 2 }

However, I suggest switching to a vertical bar chart, you can show the total values as part of the bar there like this:

@flash1293 Ok, it doesn't matter! I choose the first option with the pie chart and it worked fine with the following:

{ type_systems: "active", count: 24 }
{ type_systems: "inactive", count: 2 } 

But, there is an issue here when i try to put this visualization in a dashboard... I get the error bellow. Any ideas?

Maybe you have to refresh your field list. Go to management > index patterns > and press the reload button in the top right. This should pull in new field names.

That's right! I forgot to do this simple move
Now it's ok, it worked!

Really thank you again!
Best wishes!
