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.
