Description Nathan Scott 2014-02-26 00:54:40 UTC
Ben England reports that it is downright silly that when we create a new chart which has metrics being sourced from multiple hosts, the default plot legends do not reflect the hosts.  Thus, if the same metric is plotted from different hosts, the UI (by default) does not allow the user to distinguish them.  Of course one can use explicit plot Labels, but we should behave more sensibly by default too.

So, once this situation crops up (multi-host charts), the default plot label needs to include hostname in addition to metric and instance names.

    Remove pmchart one-metric-multiple-hosts legend ambiguity
    
    This change tackles the visual ambiguity that exists when a
    chart is created (or edited) such that the same metric from
    multple hosts is used.
    
    A number of difficulties arose in attempting to retrofit the
    prepend-hostname-to-legend-labels policy (potentially having
    to undo later on when editing occurs too) after a subsequent
    plot is observed to introduce the ambiguity.  So, in the end
    went with the far simpler solution of always using shortname
    -prefixed label for plots (all this is only when no explicit
    plot labels are specified, of course).
    
    Resolves Red Hat bugzilla #1069960.
