This issue depends on a decision on where to store annotation data as well as the ability for visualizations to have multiple layer types and to query data asynchronously for visualizations.
There are three important user flows that we should support:
- Displaying previous created annotations onto a Lens chart, with options to filter the visible tags (such as "production")
- Inserting a vertical line annotation with name and tags
- Deleting a previous annotation
Each time the visualization time range is updated, the annotations need to be queried again, so that we only show annotations within the time range:
User flow to insert annotation
I think users need to click on the chart to insert an annotation, so I think the flow here starts on the annotation list:
Users will click "insert annotation", which causes the chart to enter edit mode. The next click on the chart will set the marker and open the popover to type the label and tags.
