Time Series Annotations

[matttproud]

We had talked about providing the graph interface with the means to add annotations. That would be nice. Let's also provide programmatic means for this that can be bound to an (expression, time) double.

We won't be adding annotation support to Prometheus itself for the time being. PromDash has annotation support. Closing this.

Maybe it's time to reopen proposal, because: «NOTE: PromDash is deprecated. We recommend Grafana for visualization of Prometheus metrics nowadays, as it has native Prometheus support and is widely adopted and powerful.»?

[brian-brazil]

This is a feature that'll never be added to Prometheus itself, as it belongs at a different layer. I believe the latest version of Grafana has a similar feature.

[nordicdyno]

It has, but for other backends (Graphana, Influx): http://docs.grafana.org/reference/annotations/
Unfortunately Prometheus is not in list :(

[grobie]

It definitely has prometheus annotations support in Grafana 3.0. We're displaying the results of our ALERTS timeseries in multiple dashboards.

grafana/grafana#2883 is available in >=3.0.0-beta1.

[nordicdyno]

Cool, thanks! @grobie Is there any examples of implementing labels on grafana's graphs with Prometheus? (I'm looking for a way to add deploy events on some timelines)
