Support for displaying list of annotations per trace #238

Open bendanye opened 2 months ago

bendanye commented 2 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have a list of annotations and i would like to group data by using one of the annotations' key to create a dashboard

Describe the solution you'd like A way to display list of annotations, could be adding a new query type or an option in the Trace List

Describe alternatives you've considered I have tried but i could not get annotation display in a grafana dashboard using the plugin

Additional context N/A

Hi @bendanye, thanks for submitting! I can confirm we don't display list of annotations anywhere for trace list results. Are you still able to filter you traces by annotations by querying Trace List with annotation.{someKey} = {someValue}? If yes, that should still enable you to build dashboards you need.

We could add user annotations to our code completion in the code editor; however, right now we only have hard coded filters (from AWS docs). I will add this to our backlog but we currently don't have a timeline for it.
