Expectations
What are we expecting to happen?
Redis HLL usage data gets collected for unique project ids of pipelines using the templates listed in #219457 (closed)
What might happen if this goes wrong?
- A high volume of redis HLL event could overload redis (in this case, we turn off this feature flag)
- The extra redis calls (only when the templates are included) could impact CI
What can we monitor to detect problems with this?
- Redis monitoring dasbhoard (internal link)
- Alerts and dashboards in place for CI (internal link)
