Move self-monitoring category to Enablement

Kevin Chu requested to merge move-self-monitoring-category into master

GitLab self-monitoring is meant to enable self-hosted GitLab administrators with the tools to operate GitLab. This is enablement. The Monitor group, specifically the former APM team was building monitoring tools to monitor customer applications, not GitLab.

With the disbandment of the APM group, and the knowledge for Prometheus that went with it, it is inefficient for the Monitor group to continue to own the self-monitoring category.

We decided to leave things as is the previous year, we should find a better solution this year.

Proposed solution

Shift Self-Monitor category to Enablement.

Alternatives

  • Abandon and not support/maintain the category
