Stop sidekiq namespaced probes in gitlab-exporter

Sylvester Chin requested to merge sc1-stop-namespaced-probe into master

What does this MR do?

This MR stops the gitlab-exporter from probing sidekiq for namespaced keys. This is part of a series of releases in gitlab-com/gl-infra/scalability#2288 (closed).

In 16.4, we started polling both namespaces. In 16.6, we deprecate the use of namespace in Gitlab Rails and provided post-deployment migrations. Hence in 16.7, we are dropping the dual-polling support and removing metrics for namespaced keys in Sidekiq since a 16.6 -> 16.7 upgrade would see no metrics in the namespaced probes.

In 16.8, we are bumping the gitlab-exporter version to only poll non-namespaced Sidekiq keys.

Test plan

  1. Deploy the chart from this branch using https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/charts/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/development/kind/index.md#nginx-ingress-nodeport-without-ssl
    • remember to set gitlab-exporter.enabled to true in examples/kind/values-base.yaml.
  2. kubectl exec into the Toolbox Pod.
  3. Run curl http://gitlab-gitlab-exporter:9168/metrics.
  4. Confirm that no namespaced labels appear in the logs.
