I have a set of alerts that are all linked to the same dashboard. When they trigger they all create automatically annotations on that panel.
Is there a way to disable this behaviour?
I don’t want the alerts to create annotations automatically, as it is part of our procedure to create them manually.
Hi,
One of the methods would be disabling built-in annotations altogether from your dashboards (see this question). It has a downside though - you’ll also disable the annotations created by manually clicking on the panel - those too are built-in annotations. Also, you’ll have to do that in every dashboard.
You could also play around with unified_alerting.state_history.annotations settings, which seems like something responsible for the annotations (you could try decreasing the max_age and max_annotations_to_keep to some low values (but not 0) and see if that helps. This one I didn’t test though, so I don’t know if it will work for you.
