Update monthly release status metric on initial preparation day
Context
We need to display on Grafana dashboard information about the upcoming monthly release status. When it's getting close to the release candidate tagging day, we should indicate on the dashboard a "warning state" for folks outside of groupdelivery to finalize their MRs so that the merge commit can be included in the release.
Let's leverage delivery_release_monthly_status
metric created in #20022 (closed) to set the value to 2
during "initial preparation day" in the monthly release (example). The monthly release template can be modified so that release managers can start a pipeline to update this metric.
To recap on the values representing status for the metric:
-
1
represents release open -
2
represents the candidate announcement -
3
represents the RC tag
Exit Criteria
-
gitlab-org/release-tools!2901 (merged) merged -
(Waiting until 16.10 initial preparation day tasks - March 8) A metric is available on grafana to use for indicating warning state for the monthly release -
the monthly release template tells release managers to create the pipeline
