An extremely tricky question... afaik there is no way to do this, and a
mechanism to do so would be extremely complex (don't forget the graphs are
dynamically updating every 5 minutes - your comment would need to 'move' in
time through the daily, weekly, monthly, yearly graphs... entirely
impractical, I would hazard a guess at.

What you could do, however, is have an 'incident' report - where you simple
copy and paste the current graph into a standard html page and add your
comment - then you have a 'snapshot' of the offending graph forever...
