Better metrics from the job queue

Description

It'd be really helpful to get some information from the job queue per job type (and maybe per wiki?):

  1. time spent processing that job type
  2. number of jobs of that type started
  3. average execution time (basically 1 divided by 2 if both are rrdtool counters)
  4. number of jobs in the queue
  5. average time between job finished and job queued

Nik: Do you know if this would require changes in JobQueue ("MediaWiki" product) first, or server setup only (ganglia etc.), or both?

I think it is likely.

Sorry, to be more clear: I imagine to get them all you'd need to change Mediawiki in some way.

note that per-status stats for each wiki is a non-starter, T95913 (too many metrics essentially)

Elevating this to high, after polling other ops and devs on IRC, as it could have detected (maybe prevented most of its consequences?) a recent outage before it was too late.

I see a much improved graph here: https://grafana.wikimedia.org/dashboard/db/job-queue-rate

Maybe this has already been resolved?
