We left the project to scrape netbox stats into prometheus, which stalled on authenticating prometheus. Need to revisit this task.

I lost context on that, but https://netbox.wikimedia.org/metrics is not behind authentication.
The previous try was done in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/526819 (see comments).
As we rely more and more on Netbox API, it would be useful to track its health and usage.
Not sure however which ones of the 648 metrics are useful to have on a dashboard.

We could get some inspiration from existing dashboards that were published at https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards?search=django
