<div>For Grafana in particular, I know Prometheus driver has a
"label name" that is defined in Grafana and can be templatized
with metrics labels. It's purely on Grafana side and only
works for Grafana.</div>

<div>Having a convention is a quick solution, do we see it used
by Metrics internals or only by agents and UIs ? Does it need
to support templating with other tags or do we expect the

<div>I would also suggest displayName (or display_name or else)
rather than just name, I think it's clearer that it's for UI
and can change.</div>

</span>Makes sense to me.<br>
We had a displayName in RHQ.<br>
