How can I change the placement of the legend on chart in Splunk observability cloud?

Hi.

Working with dashoards I found that I can put legen only at the bottom of the chart.

And this is described here https://docs.splunk.com/observability/en/data-visualization/charts/chart-options.html#show-on-chart-... "This option lets you specify a dimension to be displayed in a legend below the chart."


But if I have dimensions for several objects on the charts I can see only one or two names in the legend, even If I have 3 or more. I do not have place for all of them.

I can open chart in full screen asn still cannot observe every name in the legend.

Can I scroll all the names on the legend somehow to make visible all of them?
Is it possible to put legends on the right side of the chart?

 

Thank You

When there are too many items to display in the legend, you should see a clickable option to "see all" and then that will open up a view below the chart with a data table containing all items.

Thank You for Your answer.

I know about this option. But it is not suitable for every case.
