Grafana dashboard for "Backup Schedule"

[mohsenasm]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There are some helpful Grafana dashboard provided in this link. It would be nice if you provide another dashboard for managing backup schedules as well. Of course, it's not an urgent feature request and I can create a dashboard myself, but a dashboard designed by CockroachDB would be far better.

Describe the solution you'd like A Grafana/Prometheus dashboard managing backup schedules by means of some metrics like schedules_BACKUP_started and schedules_BACKUP_failed.

Describe alternatives you've considered Creating a dashboard myself.

Additional context None.

Hi again, I have tried to create a Grafana dashboard myself. Although the backup schedule is working fine, it seems that there is not schedules_BACKUP_started nor schedules_BACKUP_failed metrics in the http://localhost:8080/_status/vars. These metrics are not in our Prometheus either.

Version: v20.2.3

We identified a bug that has since been fixed and backported that will be a part of the v20.2.4 release https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/pull/57512

As of release v20.4.2, we have schedules_BACKUP_started and schedules_BACKUP_failed metrics. So I close this issue. Thanks for the bug fix.

Actually, I checked again. I have two clusters of three servers, all with version v20.2.4. But only two of these six servers return metrics schedules_BACKUP_started and schedules_BACKUP_failed in response to http://localhost:8080/_status/vars.
