We often need to add notes (stored as annotations) when looking at the graphs, in order to document various incidents that are visible in the graphs).\r\nSuch a note would need to relate to one or multiple (all) series visible in the dashboards (an incident often affects multiple data series, so adding a note to all individual series is not feasible).\r\n\r\nOne way of implementing could be to create a panel type for entry of note annotations, where the current zoom factor (time period) determines the start and end of the incident to which the note applies.\r\n\r\nWith this feature, the grafana tool could be a very graphical documentation channel for communication between members of an operational team. \r\n\r\nMaybe this feature already exists, but I do not see it in the documentation\r\nThanks for this impressive tool !"}}
