Northstar metric
TOP METRIC: Count of Incident issues
This is the sum of issues created manually as incidents, issues created from alerts, and issues created from errors.
This count should include:
- All issues labelled
incident
- Currently tracking issues created by Alert Bot:
incident_issues
-
Add metric counting issues created by the GitLab Alert Bot called alert_bot_incident_issues
-
Add metric tracking ALL issues labeled with incident
-incident_labeled_issues
- Currently tracking issues created by Alert Bot:
- Issues created from clicking the Create Issue button on alerts
-
Add metric tracking all issues created from GitLab Alerts - issues_created_gitlab_alerts
-
- Issues created from clicking the Create Issue button on errors
- Count number of issues with Sentry ID association
- Usage ping:
issues_created_from_gitlab_error_tracking_ui
This metric should include values from .com and all available self-managed instances that are reporting data to us.
Plan
- Figure out what metrics are available today and where the data is coming from so that it is clear if the numbers include only .com or self managed as well
- Document what exists today on this issue
- Document remaining work to be done on this issue
