Hi @rbergen,

What if you use scripted fields to rename your fields ("\_source.checks\_total.policies\_checks\_result.passing" to just "passing" etc)

To do that, follow the example from here: [How to use scripted fields in vega/vega-lite visualizations?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-use-scripted-fields-in-vega-vega-lite-visualizations/150677)

Hope it helps!
