Hi!

If I should post this elsewhere, please let me know.

I'm trying to discover how to rename graph points to friendlier names via the API. I haven't really used it before other than some hacking on other people scripts so I'm a n00b in that regard but I don't expect hand-holding.

I see how to add graphpoints with "addDataPointToGraph(self, dataPointUid, graphUid, includeThresholds=False)", but it uses the longer Datasource.datapoint naming convention in the graph. I want to change that to something more human friendly/descriptive.

I can do this in the UI by going to the graph definition -> Manage Graph Points > Edit Graph Point and change the Name, but I don't see a corresponding documented function in the API to do so. I fully expect that it's my unfamiliarity with the API or my search-fu that's the problem.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Its been a little bit since I looked at this, but I think you want to leverage the setInfo method in the Template router (Assuming JSON api) and the newId keyword

Thanks! That was what I needed =) Since I only had 3 specific things to change over a known set of graphs, I just used a RESTful call with curl passing the appropriate JSON.

Thanks for the pointer!
