Expectations
### What are we expecting to happen?
On staging.gitlab.com, Package Files of Projects selected for sync should be replicated to the secondary.
Geo staging is not working, so we will test with test instances produced by https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/geo-team/ansible-gitlab-geo.
On gitlab.com, nothing, since there is no secondary.
What might happen if this goes wrong?
Worst case is probably errors during creation of package files. Next might be errors in Geo-related jobs.
What can we monitor to detect problems with this?
Staging:
- https://staging.gitlab.com/admin/geo/nodes
- Sidekiq queue lengths and errors https://dashboards.gitlab.net/d/sidekiq-main/sidekiq-overview?orgId=1&var-PROMETHEUS_DS=Global&var-environment=gstg&var-stage=main&var-sigma=2
Prod:
- Sidekiq queue lengths and errors https://dashboards.gitlab.net/d/sidekiq-main/sidekiq-overview?orgId=1
