Sidekiq troubeshooting - performance issues, and removing sidekiq-cluster Omnibus service from a 14.0+ instance

Ben Prescott_ requested to merge docs/bprescott/20220810-sidekiqcluster into master

What does this MR do?

Testing and a customer ticket (link for GitLab team members) indicates it's possible to get stuck with a second (fully deprecated) sidekiq-cluster process along side sidekiq process on Omnibus 14.0 and higher.

Chef is unable to remove it as the code doesn't exist to manage this service.

Additionally, an approach for troubleshooting slow Sidekiq performance is added. Context for this addition can be found at #368685 (comment 1049678738)

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Reviewer's checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
