[ACTION] Deep dive on Collect & visualise metrics workflow - FALCO

[AntonioDiTuri]

In this issue we agreed on the metrics we would like to graph on Grafana for the idle tests

This ticket is about gathering some inputs to define a workflow on how to collect & visualize the metrics. This ticket is dependent on enabling the production of the falco-specific metrics like the kernel_event_rate

Once that is clear we should ask ourself how we transfer those data so that Grafana can graph them:

• One such a solution could be the https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco-exporter to export it to Prometheus and to read it from there

• Another solution would be to write a custom script that reads from the file where falco saves the metrics /tmp/stats/falco_stats.jsonl and write back to a source that grafana can read (e.g. a MySQL database)

• Another idea would be to check if the same metrics are also available at some endpoints so that Grafana can query them directly

• Other inputs are really welcome!

👍, would be good to consolidate here after the discussion in https://github.com/falcosecurity/cncf-green-review-testing/discussions/14 ended
