Is it possible to retrieve Release Annotations from Application Inisights programatically through a query?

Question

It's possible to upload Release Annotations to Application Insights (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/blog/application-insights-announces-availability-of-release-annotations/), but I'd like to query these in Grafana (using a Log Analytics query or similar) to add Deployment markers to Grafana.

Is it possible to programmatically retrieve these markers, preferably a kusto query or the like that can be queried directly from Grafana.

(Note we don't have access to be able to also store deployment info inside Grafana itself)

@Jack Blower Apologies for late response. Currently Annotations data is not sent to Log Analytics yet , however you can query annotations via ARM.

You need to send a GET to ARM endpoint:

https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/microsoft.insights/components/{resourceName}/Annotations?start=2021-02-09T23%3A26%3A00.000Z&end=2021-02-26T23%3A26%3A00.000Z&api-version=2015-05-01

Replace subscriptionId, resourceGroupName and resourceName with ones you want to query.Also replace the start and end query params value to the time duration that your annotations were created (if they are blank, server will return Invalid Request).You should also need to provide a proper Authorization token in the header.
