The Events section provides a centralized view of all annotations added to SLOs across your organization. It facilitates visibility into key events or changes that impact SLO performance for better monitoring and tracking meaningful updates such as budget adjustments, alerts, or key milestones.

When an annotation is added to an SLO, it automatically appears in the Events > Annotations table.
