Dashboard annotations API

  • Introduced in GitLab 12.10 behind a disabled feature flag.

Metrics dashboard annotations allow you to indicate events on your graphs at a single point in time or over a timespan.

Create a new annotation

POST /environments/:id/metrics_dashboard/annotations/
POST /clusters/:id/metrics_dashboard/annotations/

NOTE: Note: The value of dashboard_path will be treated as a CGI-escaped path, and automatically unescaped.

Parameters:

Attribute Type Required Description
dashboard_path string yes ID of the dashboard which needs to be annotated.
starting_at string yes Date time string, ISO 8601 formatted, such as 2016-03-11T03:45:40Z. Timestamp marking start point of annotation.
ending_at string no Date time string, ISO 8601 formatted, such as 2016-03-11T03:45:40Z. Timestamp marking end point of annotation. When not supplied annotation will be displayed as single event at start point.
