Indicate type of metric for Prometheus web application monitoring
We currently auto-detect a variety of load balancers and web servers, to provide a turnkey monitoring solution within GitLab. Right now we label these with the source of the metric, for example NGINX
below:
It would be nice to categorize these further first, to indicate the type and value of the metrics. For example instead of NGINX
we should display Response metrics (NGINX)
. This way customers are aware of the type of metrics being shown, and can more clearly differentiate between System metrics and Business metrics in the future.
