Adding graph explanation section to each graph

Logicmonitor has a lot of amazing graphs. So much so that I have been asked time and time again what this graph represents and what that graph represents. With some of our employees it is not a given to assume they understand what load average means or what exactly does mysql replication delay means. As Logicmonitor grows and adds more datasources, there are times when i stare puzzled at a graph.

I have been asked by my manager to write a separate document to explain the graphs so people can be empowered to use Logicmonitor to it\'s fullest.

Instead of an external documentation, i am asking for Logicmonitor to build a feature into the UI that allows me to insert this kind of data. Basically it will be a text box in the graph definition page where i can write an explanation of the graphs. This text can be accessed by clicking the arrow button on the graph and selecting \'\'graph explanation\'\'

This makes it much more useful than flipping back and forth between Logicmonitor and the \'\'explanation doc\'\'.
