Generate default grafana dashboards from Mixer config #763

Open douglas-reid opened 7 years ago

douglas-reid commented 7 years ago

Right now, the default Istio Dashboard for grafana is manually-edited and updated. It requires constant updating to match evolving default mixer config.

It would be nice if Mixer or Manager could, upon config updates, synthesize a new (or a new set of) dashboard(s) for monitoring the service mesh and push those updates directly to grafana.

This needs investigation, but it should be (relatively) straightforward to execute based on notions of scope.

Moving to Nebulous Future. I think there is a lot of potential here for something cool (with xDS + Mixer), but this is not a critical task.
