This task has been created in 2016 to publish metrics from PCP (Performance Co-Pilot) on RHEL-like servers, especially our Docker engines.
Grafana is now seen as a more versatile part of our observability solution and is ready to receive metrics from Prometheus per T1623.
PCP need to be reinstalled if needed as part of T650, but we're moving forward with Grafana first.
Plan is to test deployment on a bare-metal devserver, WindRiver. We're less interested by using Docker for the monitoring tools.

Deployment can be using sqlite3 as long as it's still performant
as we want our monitoring tools to be resiliant.

Deployed at https://grafana.nasqueron.org/
The big surprise is how blazing fast it is.
Comment Actions
Documentation added in https://agora.nasqueron.org/Operations_grimoire/Grafana and links to other dashboards added to relevant places.
It's correctly deployed and ready for use.
Further plans could include:
- dashboards as code provisioning if we need to create dashboards automatically from a configuration
- SSO
- Move to dedicated observability server
