Draft: [promtail] - drop webservice metrics for PoV

Nick Duff requested to merge nduff/promtail-pov into master

What

  • Drops webservice labels for grafana PoV
  • Adds a selector to only collect from gitlab namespace

Why

Currently for our Grafana PoV we are shipping logs fro ma single regional cluster, as Grafana would prefer we keep log volumes less than 800GB per day for the period of the PoV. However even within a single regional cluster we are looking at a potential 4TB a day without some additional filtering.

Looking at a 1 hour window of the data being sent the majority of the logging is coming from the webservice pods.
