Implement Datadog tagging standards for Form 526 #89926

Closed pacerwow closed 2 months ago

pacerwow commented 2 months ago

As a user I want to be able to find any dashboard or monitor and know which application, service, and team owns it so that I can locate relevant dashboards in a timely manner, especially important for troubleshooting errors and outages.

Slack thread w Steve Albers

  1. Make sure that all of our dashboards and monitors are tagged to the "OCTO Benefits Portfolio" team: (That by itself gets us from 476 dashboards to 74)
  2. For monitors, tag them service:disability-application
    • For monitors we are more flexible with the titles because they double as the title of notifications that are posted in Slack - so starting everything with "Benefits - Disability Claims - etc" makes them less readable
    • An added benefit to using the service:disability-application tag is that it adds the monitor to the disability service overview found here:
  3. Naming convention, consistently name Dashboards “Benefits - Disability- 526 - [details]"
  4. Use a shared, editable list that contains all of the Disability-related dashboards.
    • Steve created - Benefits - Disability - 526 (This can be renamed later if we feel there’s a better one to use.)
    • Team members should add their dashboard to this shared list when they create new dashboards
    • Team members should check to see if any existing dashboards have been added and add them if necessary

Acceptance Criteria

Other dashboards that might be ours?
