Add "tracing" to Project navigation menu, nested under "monitor"
Proposal
Observability team is building Tracing, Metrics and Logs and intends to release all 3 to GA status within the next 9 months. This request is for adding the following 3 sub-navigation items, nested under "Monitor" in the Project navigation for the current navigation information architecture:
- Tracing
- Metrics
- Logs
Other locations that were considered
This location has already been suggested as the best location by UX and Design. @jmandell, @kbychu, @wleidheiser have more context that they might be able to provide if necessary.
Update
Prior to 15.0 GitLab already had two tabs as proposed in this proposal for 'tracing' and 'metrics'. Those tabs were deprecated as part of deprecating the old features they referenced. #416655 (comment 1465659634)
