Description
Bug Description
There are a few improvements worth making to the metrics series chart for workflows.
- Explain what each series is
- Make each series human readable (billable_invocation is readable but we can present it nicely)
- Option to disable specific series in the chart. In some instances it is possible that one series could be much greater than others, making it difficult to read the chart for the other metrics. Being able to disable certain series metrics could alleviate that issue when a user encounters it.

Research direction
Start by locating the workflows metrics series chart in the frontend and reviewing how its current series labels and rendering are assembled. Done means each series is explained and human-readable, and users can disable individual series so larger values do not obscure the others.
