Hey i want to grep the "Abandoned connection cleanup thread" using the timelion query. i need regex to fetch the thread names as label. Here the thread names are dynamically changing

here is the input: q:\* \> thread\_name:Abandoned connection cleanup thread \> max(memory\_utilisation)

The label is showing as above when i write query .es(index=talend\_dev\_thread\_level\_heap\*,split='thread\_name:7',metric=max:memory\_utilisation)

For the above query , i need to add label with regex expression that should give only dynamic thread names like  
Abandoned connection cleanup thread

This discusses the usage of `.label()` which may be helpful for you - [Timelion: how generate .label() dynamically?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/timelion-how-generate-label-dynamically/85072)
