Annotations: Google Cloud Metrics annotation title and text not displayed

[ajcutshall]

What went wrong?

What happened:

• When adding a dashboard annotation using the Google Cloud Metrics datasource, the "Title" and "Text" fields are not rendered (see screenshot). This behavior is present in versions 9.5.3, 10.0.0, and 10.0.1.

What did you expect to happen:

• Title and text should be rendered for the annotation

How do we reproduce it?

Step 1:

• Add a GCM-backed annotation to a dashboard

Step 2:

• Attempt to add a title or text to the annotation using the provided fields.

Step 3:

• The annotations do not include the values from the title or text field.

What Grafana version are you using?

v9.5.3, v10.0.0, v10.0.1

Hi @ajcutshall,

Thanks for opening this issue.

Could you please provide us with the backend logs (the default location in Linux is /var/log/grafana/grafana.log) so that we can have more information about the error message?

Hi @usmangt,

Apologies for not having been more clear about my environment in my original post. This instance is running as a Docker container on Google Cloud Run , so I do not have direct access to the /var/log/grafana/grafana.log file.

After setting the console log level to debug and navigating to the annotation settings page for the dashboard in question and testing the query, I do not see any relevant logs. Is there a particular pattern I could search my logs for that would help here?

Thanks!

I've replicated this and created a PR that should fix it 😊
