How to replace description into timechart results

Splunk Enterprise 7.2.0

I have my query:

index="_itrospection" component ="hostwide" | timechart max(data.mem.mem_used) as Current by splunk_server

In the legend I see the splunk_server descriptions based on hostnames.

I created lookup indexers.csv:
indexer,site
hostname1,Site-1
hostname2,Site-2

How can I use lookup to replace splunk_server fields by lookup field site?

Grate, it is working fine.

My mistake was:

index="_introspection" component ="hostwide"
| lookup indexers indexer as splunk_server OUTPUT indexer as splunk_server
| timechart max(data.mem.mem_used) as Current by splunk_server

Hi @wieslaww do you have 1 to 1 mapping between host name and Site or not?

If so, create a Lookup Definition for indexers.csv and then change the query as following:

index="_introspection" component ="hostwide" 
| lookup indexers indexer as splunk_server OUTPUT site 
| timechart max(data.mem.mem_used) as Current by site
