    user: "ansible"
    passwd: "ansible"

- name: Create a global annotation with time annotation
  grafana_annotations:
    addr: "127.0.0.1:3000"

    passwd: "ansible"

- name: Test idempotence on region annotation
  grafana_annotations:
    addr: "127.0.0.1:3000"
    user: "ansible"

    timeEnd: 1514830000
    text: "This is a global region annotation"

Advices

• Do not use the admin user to plublish your annotations. Create a dedicated user for ansible or use API tokens.
• Store the password (or token) in an ansible vault to avoid use of password in clear in the playbooks.
