Map out the current workflow and user journeys for enabling monitoring and setting up an alert in GitLab.
Problem to solve
Today when users would like to use our full Observability capabilities they should install Ingress, Tiller, Prometheus and Elasticsearch. The workflow for enabling monitoring in GitLab is time consuming and not intuitive.
Additionally, the documentation for enabling monitoring in GitLab is scattered across GitLab Docs and is in some places incomplete or confusing.
Intended users
- Delaney (Development Team Lead)
- Sasha (Software Developer)
- Devon (DevOps Engineer)
- Sidney (Systems Administrator)
Further details
This work supports the Monitor Vision.
Proposal
Document the current workflow and user journeys for enabling monitoring and setting up an alert in GitLab. This is the first step before we can improve upon the documentation and the user experience for enabling monitoring.
