Backend support for making instance-wide data tools more accessible
Overview
In order to improve visibility and usage for instance-wide data and analytics tools, we're moving them to a dedicated area in the navbar. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/41416 covers the frontend and UX changes.
Since we're creating new views and controllers, we may need some light backend support to make the frontend changes more straightforward.
Most of the work should be accomplished in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/41416, but we should allocate someone from ~"devops:administration" to provide some light support in this issue.
This issue can be closed when https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/41416 is done.
