I want to label series by hostname + metric name. I know I can use aliasByNode(1) to do first part and aliasByMetric() to do the second. Any ideas how can I merge those two functions in a single metric?

aliasByNode can take multiple arguments.

aliasByNode(apps.fakesite.web_server_01.counters.requests.count, 2,5)

returns web_server_01.count.

The Grafana query editor for Graphite does not support this but if you toggle edit mode then you can edit the raw query. After editing it, you can toggle back.
