Series visibility through time series legends

When a time series panel renders a long list of series, finding the ones you care about often means editing the query or scanning a crowded legend. The new Series visibility filter in the time series visualization lets you narrow visible series interactively— by name, by label, or both— without touching the underlying query.

Filter by name or label

Toggle the Series visibility filter on in the legend options to add the corresponding control next to the legend.

Series visibility filter switch

Click the control to open a tooltip with two sections:

  • By name: Lists each unique series name. Select one or more to keep only those series visible.
  • By labels: Groups label keys with their values so you can keep series that match specific labels.

The tooltip also includes Select all, Deselect all, and Clear all actions to make adjusting the filter quick when a panel has many series.

Pin to the sidebar

Use Pin to sidebar to dock the filter alongside the panel so it stays open while you explore. This is helpful when iterating on a focused subset of series. You can refine your selection without reopening the tooltip each time.

To try out the series visibility filter, enable the vizLegendFacetedFilter feature toggle.
