Graphite not showing labels when rendered using wildcards

In order to generate graphs in graphite, i am using the URL render API. My URL is of the form-

<IP>/render?&target=stats.beta.*.ip-10-0-0-179.counter.ant.*.*.succeeded&title=Notification&lineMode=connected

The graph does have a title, but the individual five lines do not have any alias. The alias function doesn't work with wildcards.

aliasByNode(seriesList, *nodes) works with wildcards. The function name is quite confusing, it simply splits the key by dots and takes i-th value specified as second argument. It is indexed from 0.

&target=aliasByNode(ganglia.*.cpu*.load5, 1)
                            ^
                            \ name the series by this part

you can specify multiple parts to use as a lengend:

   aliasByNode(localhost.*.cpu-{system,user,wait}),0,2)
                  ^           ^
                  \-----------\-should take these two -> 'localhost-cpu-system'

If you want to alias wildcards, you should use the aliasByNode() function. And as was mentioned by talonx, combine that with hidelegend
