Mjolnir graphs in grafana are not displaying any data
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

These graphs used to work, but they now show as completely flat lines. Querying a few prometheus reporters on the elasticsearch instances directly shows the underlying values are not 0. Somewhere between where the values are generated and these dashboards something changed, find out what and repair.

In particular the "full_text ema eqiad" on the elasticsearch-mjolnir-msearch[1] board is a moving average of the full_text search load. It reports 0 for both DC's, but instances correctly report a few thousand qps.

Everything here looks sane today, the estimated qps is being detected and recorded as expected. Reviewed the other graphs and they also look to be populated where we expect.
