Annotation support #33

Open Alexadra opened 3 years ago

Are annotations supported in Plotly panel - https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/dashboards/annotations/? Cannot add annotation from Grafana GUI for Plotly panel, but maybe there are any other ways?

No, it's not possible to add annotations in Plotly panel. Plotly charts can be any kind of charts (not only timeseries) and so it doesn't really make sense to support Grafana's annotations. So, I think Grafana's default timeseries chart is the best way to handle this.

I would argue that handling annotations should be up to the user. Currently, annotations are not available to the user because Grafana assumes the plugin cannot handle them. If annotations are enabled, the user can decide to use them, or ignore them

On Grafana's default timeseries, I would prefer to use this plugin for visual consistency
