Yes you can do this with a case statement, so assuming your graph is currently produced like this, where the numbers are in afield call 'line':

| stats count by line

You could then do this, defaulting back to the number if you haven't set a value:

| eval text=case(line=="181","text_for_181",line=="211","text_for_211",line=="212","maxis",line==42","text_for_42",1==1,line)
| stats count by text

Thanks Colin for a good answer.

Unfortunately I'm so beginner in splunk. Can you show me where I should put your code?

Hi, can you send through the search from the search bar that made the graph in your original post? (If it is in a dashboard, when you mouseover it, you can select the magnifying lens icon to open the underlying search)
