Annotation Query Failed - error comes and goes

1

Recently, the following error is appearing in multiple banners on our dashboard, which becomes usable. Ver 6.1.6 in a container.


Annotation Query Failed
{"data":null,"status":-1,"config":{"method":"GET","transformRequest":[null],"transformResponse":[null],"jsonpCallbackParam":"callback","url":"api/annotations","params":{"from":1556719128955,"to":1556719428955,"dashboardId":2},"retry":0,"headers":{"X-Grafana-Org-Id":1,"Accept":"application/json, text/plain, */*"}},"statusText":"","xhrStatus":"error"}

Logging is currently on `info’ and does not report anything relevant to this event. After some minutes the ugly red banner warnings go away and normal behaviour resumes.

Do I need to look for a bug on my side or is this a known issue with a fix?

Many thanks

If you open the Chrome dev tools and look at the console and network tab, can you see any other errors? Or are there any errors in your Grafana server logs?

Thank you Daniellee,

The error comes regularly and sometimes resolves spontaneously and always resolves with a refresh.
Just to confirm, multiple large red banners come up with “Annotation Query Failed”.
Indeed I do have (static) annotations on this dashboard.

Any pointers gratefully received.

I see nothing else on the logs or anything on the network tab. On the console tab, this:

To add, my (influx) data source has a retention policy of one hour and I have not yet seen this error when time window is zoomed back to enclose all the data available. Not sure if this has anything to do with it.

UPDATE.
I finally appear to have solved this issue.
Exported the json of the panel with the annotations.
Deleted this panel from the dashboard.
Imported the JSON to recreate the dashboard an FWIW changed the UID when prompted.

Can you explain to a newbie a bit more in detail? I am getting the same pop-up error.

Hello,

I solved the issue by removing “Annotations query”. Here is more documentation about the functionality: Annotations | Grafana documentation

Steps to remove:

  1. Go to dashboard
  2. Go to dashboard settings (gear icon at the top)
  3. Go to Annotations section (in the left menu)
  4. Remove the query
  5. Save the dashboard
