Answer

In your data array, I assumed that the values with

• 2 will always have the "up" label,
• 1 the "connection_recovered" label and
• -2 the "down" label.

In order to have the label on a fixed tick in your graph on the YAxis, you can use the tickFormatter prop, where you can pass a function, which could return the label you want according to the value.

It would give the following:

// Depending on the value of the tick, you'll have a different label
function formatYAxis(value: number) {
  switch(value) {
    case 2:
      return "up";
    case -2:
      return "down";
    case 1:
      return "connection_recovered";
    default:
      return ""
  }
}

Used in the YAxis just like so:

<YAxis tickFormatter={formatYAxis} />

Which would give out a graph like the following
