 ## tip
 
+* FEATURE: add `-influxDBLabel` command-line flag for overriding `db` label name for the data [imported into VictoriaMetrics via InfluxDB line protocol](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-send-data-from-influxdb-compatible-agents-such-as-telegraf). Thanks to @johnatannvmd for [the pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/2203).
 
 * BUGFIX: fix a bug, which could significantly slow down requests to `/api/v1/labels` and `/api/v1/label/<label_name>/values`. These APIs are used by Grafana for auto-completion of label names and label values. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2200).
 * BUGFIX: vmalert: add support for `$externalLabels` and `$externalURL` template vars in the same way as Prometheus does. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2193).
