Hi,

Is it possible to have the annotation for only one chart when view by Trellis, for example in the image below, I only want to have notation for the first chart.

Knowing that:

- I'm using the visualization by Trellis.

- The annotation is now established by adding this part in the XML source.

 

 

        <search type="annotation">
          <query>| makeresults 
| eval _time="2022-09-20 00:00:00", message="Change equipement", type="type1"
 | eval annotation_label = message </query>
          <earliest>0</earliest>
          <latest></latest>
        </search>
<option name="charting.annotation.categoryColors">{"type1":"0xffcc00"}</option>

 

 

- The list of id with the date of changement is stored in a lookup csv

I did this but it show annotation for every chart

 

<search type="annotation">
          <query>|inputlookup list_id.csv
|search NoEq=$id$
| eval _time=_time, message="Change", type="type1"
 | eval annotation_label = message </query>
          <earliest>0</earliest>
          <latest></latest>
        </search>

Splunk has the mechanism in place to make it work: $trellis.name$ and $trellis.value$, but instead of these being available for ALL searches, they are only available for the trellis search/chart.  I have tried many things but all have failed.  If annotations are supported in Studio, you could try there.  That is my next step, but I don't know Studio so don't know if I will try or how long it would take.  The next best thing to do is make the "annotation_category" set to the value of the split-by field for the Trellis so that a hover makes it clear which ones are for which trellis panel.
