Conditionally run GME QA monitoring tests
What does this MR do and why?
We have a QA spec that tests this server integration: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/7359d23f4e078479969c872924150219c6f1665f/qa/qa/specs/features/api/8_monitor/metrics_spec.rb. However, that would currently still test against the old exporter in CI because GITLAB_GOLANG_METRICS_SERVER
is not set.
This MR allow us to conditionally set env variable GITLAB_GOLANG_METRICS_SERVER = "true"
by setting label pipeline:run-gitlab-metrics-exporter to the MR.
This way, until GME is not fully deployed, developers can choose which exporter they would like to test in CI.
Screenshots or screen recordings
Screenshots are required for UI changes, and strongly recommended for all other merge requests.
How to set up and validate locally
Numbered steps to set up and validate the change are strongly suggested.
