Trying to change panel label with regex or similar

[susadmin]

Using Grafana 9.5.2 on Debian Bullseye 5.15.108-1

I want to change the labels for my chart data. I would like to use a substring of an existing tag: $tag_friendly_name

This tag has results e.g. thp_bedroom_temperature and I just want to extract the room name: i.e. bedroom.

I know I could do this with an override but I have many such graphs and it would be much easier to do this procedurally if this is possible. I have seen many postings where people are trying to do something similar but I cannot find the solution. I am hoping that it is a case of entering a special string in the ALIAS field to be able this.

If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks very much for the pointer. Been trying to do this for a while.

I acheived what I wanted with the Match: thp_(.*)_.*

One final optimisation would be to capitalise the first letter of the new string (ie bedroom → Bedroom, kitchen → Kitchen …).

Any idea of how to go about that?

Best Regards,
