Victorialogs as a source for annotations

[opentokix]

I am trying to use Victorialogs Datasource as a source for annotations. Using python and requests to send a POST object to the jsonlines endpoint. I get annotations to work, but I don't understand what I need to do to get tags to work and how to construct my object/query-params to get labels (other) to work. And also have been unable to find this in any documentation. (I can write that doc in a PR if I just get some details how this is intended to work).

I am using v0.13.2 of writing of this issue.

Here is the relevant python code for how I create the object.

    stream_fields = "stream,level,invoker,system,type_of"
    uri = f"{scheme}://{host}:{port}/insert/jsonline?_stream_fields={stream_fields}"  # noqa E501
    headers = {
        "Content-Type": "application/stream+json",
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"
    }
    doc = {"level": "info",
           "invoker": invoker,
           "system": system,
           "stream": "annotations",
           "type": type_of,
           "_msg": message,
           "tags": tags if tags else [],
           }
    try:
        response = requests.post(uri, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(doc))

This is the annotation I have gotten to work so far:

It is the "Object object" I am wondering about.

Hi! Will try to check it today

Hi @opentokix ! Could you share, please, the message, invoker, system, type_of, tags variables?

UPD. no needed reproduced on my local

Hi @opentokix ! Would this solution work for you?

I can make it more structured if object representation is not ok

I would like to have the mouse over more human readable.

Lets say I send in a object whith the info of username, version and tags or something like that.

I want the mouse over to have that info only. And not a json-string. But it should be customizable.

Think of it like you want to send an event from a argocd run or a ci/cd-system into the logsystem and then fetch this into a dashboard for the metrics of the application to know when the latest build is deployed.

Hi @opentokix ! Grafana has a limitation to render the content on the annotation side. (It can't render any tags and has css style like nowrap), so that all info will be in one line (I removed the object)

That is ok - amazing work, when is it going to get released, or is it already available?

It is on review right now. Will be included in the next release if everything is ok on review
