# 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.
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. |
| `description` | string | yes | Description of the annotation. |
