Service to create a self-monitoring project

Problem to solve

We need to create a project which can be used for monitoring the Gitlab instance itself.

• Create a project with readme.
• Connect the inbuilt prometheus as a manually configured prometheus service in the project.
• Add all maintainers as admins.
• Add webhook config to alertmanager to send alerts to the rails app. Might not be possible since the alertmanager config is controlled by Omnibus.

Intended users

Further details

Proposal

• Project name: "GitLab Instance Administration".
• Project visibility by default is internal
• Membership by default includes the default root admin user.
• Prometheus integration is enabled and configured for the internal Prometheus server.
• Prometheus is configured to send alert webhooks to GitLab.

Testing

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
