SLI alerts for library metrics (from additional_metrics.yml)
We ran into an issue when building the MVC of SLI alerts, because our out of the box metrics are loaded from a YML file, which does not get into the database. This means that we have no unique identifiers, and other issues as noted here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/5163#note_88185734
We need to do the following:
- Extend the metric data model in the database to support all the features of the YML file
- Import the YAML file into the DB on startup (or some other method)
- Utilize the DB as the source for all metrics, as opposed to reading in the existing YAML file.
- Consider how we would update this going forward (db migration?)
The UX remains unchanged, just now available as well for default metrics.
