How to draw vertical lines on a Datadog graph

Thu Mar 10 2022

It's possible to draw vertical lines/range on a Datadog graph like this:

1. Open the JSON (opens new window) tab of your graph:

2. Add or update the "markers" field of your graph's JSON data and add new markers with the following format:

    "markers": [
        {
            "value": "",
            "time": "1645107690 < t < 1645109730",
            "type": "correlations",
            "label": "Incident 1"
        },
        {
            "value": "",
            "time": "1645790400 < t < 1645804801",
            "type": "correlations",
            "label": "Incident 2"
        }
    ]

3. The time range needs to be in seconds since the Unix Epoch. You can use this handy website (opens new window) to convert between human-readable dates and seconds.
