Bundling Prometheus For GitLab CE
Continued from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/issues/1008
Customers tend to not have monitoring set up. If we ship it with GitLab this situation will improve. We can also use this monitoring for the applications GitLab deploys. What users are looking for is simple experience similar to the of New Relic (a few clicks and you're up), for that we need to create:
- Easy plugins for popular frameworks
- An instant dashboard
This is reflected in: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/23841
This issue focuses only on monitoring the GitLab instance and presenting the metrics on a dashboard.
