Add visualizations to GitLab logstash dashboard
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The current GitLab Logstash dashboard contains just the GitLab application logs and no visualizations. Furthermore access logs seem to be not included/filtered out?

It would be beneficial for traffic related incidents to have a proper Dashboard similar to the Gerrit apache ec2 one.

I'm starting a new dashboard here but I have no idea how that works in logstash: https://logstash.wikimedia.org/app/dashboards#/view/38dc4c50-7cae-11ef-b061-47f1245f2864

I was able to mostly replicate the Gerrit ESC logstash dashboard for GitLab: https://logstash.wikimedia.org/app/dashboards#/view/38dc4c50-7cae-11ef-b061-47f1245f2864. It's not perfect but should be enough for analyzing traffic related issues.

The recent GitLab upgrade (T375710) can be seen quite nice in the new dashboard as well: https://logstash.wikimedia.org/goto/3902ad7941591a6b73fbbe7e120a6fd7 (this link contains the date for the update).

I'll resolve the task, further tweaks can happen after using the dashboard in incidents.
