Description

Problem Statement

When I configure a metric, it gets a positional name like "A" and a meta name for its data such as sum(paypal.ipn).

I would like to be able to give this a custom name or label such as Paypal Webhook Count

Research direction

Start by tracing how configured metrics are represented and displayed in the Dashboards product, focusing on the existing positional name and meta name described in the issue. The issue names no files or tests; done should mean a metric can receive a custom label such as "Paypal Webhook Count" and that label appears consistently where the metric is shown.
