Is it possible to alter the Legend titles ?

Chris,

You're looking for the "alias()" function.

PS: There are some alternate alias functions on that page that may be
applicable if you wish to still use wildcards in your graph.

Thanks for the prompt reply Brian,

I had to upgrade from 0.9.9 to 0.9.10, but now everything is working great:
target=aliasByNode(stats.gauges.ops.instance_counts.st.us-east-1.*,6)

Much appreciated.
