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. ![pie chart](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/3/237a68b90c8926190fe0d547c416f4a5c2be829f.png) ---

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: ![pie chart_2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/9/c9839487597e504d9ee2f8008c97da2f9f37ffbd.png) ---

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? See below: ![pie chart_3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/b/eb245c8806d8e268cdd9aa3841460d1da7693680.png) ---

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: ![Screenshot 2020-02-20 at 18.31.42](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/2/02dca0bb9deef3d1db9b646244647479e2e720f3.png) ---

@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? ![dashboard_error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/4/c4568bee7159f06fd60569c7b097a53023f4a056.png) ---

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! ---
