# Dashboard annotations API
|
|
|
|
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/29089) 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 time span.
|
|
|
|
## Create a new annotation
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
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 un-escaped.
|
|
|
|
