Provide a grafana installation for labs
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Currently the grafana.wikimedia.org installation has no counterpart in the labs infrastructure realm. However, labs does have a working graphite installation on labmon1001.eqiad.wmnet. The installation is used by frontends like nagf (https://tools.wmflabs.org/nagf/) which no matter how nice it is, is not providing the same functionality to labs projects as a dedicated grafana installation would. At the same time, labmon1001 has been added as a data source to the production installation, providing one more argument for the need of a labs grafana install, while at the same time causing some confusion as to how labs projects get to have dashboard at the production installation.

Actionables that IMHO should be implemented:

  • Get a working grafana installation on labs with a data source pointing to labmon1001
  • Provide a number of generic dashboards for the various labs projects
  • Move over to that installation the labs related dashboard that have been created on the production grafana installation
  • Remove labmon1001 as a data source from the production grafana installation.

Remove labmon1001 as a data source from the production grafana installation.

I would keep it around if at all possible. For people having prod access it is quite useful to have a single interface for both production and the dev environment. Though I am not sure whether the labmon1001 data source is much used, might be something to check.
