Create custom metrics dashboard

CarsonCook commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. APIML should have one dashboard that displays available metrics.

Describe the solution you'd like A Metrics Service UI that embeds the Hystrix/Turbine dashboard and displays system level metrics.

Hystrix dashboard will automatically pick up the HTTP metrics information, so it simply needs to be embedded into the custom dashboard. However, the raw system metrics will be queried and so need to be turned into a nice UI using the researched pre-built ui option.

Describe alternatives you've considered Create a custom UI dashboard for system metrics display. A data visualization library would be needed, some options are:

metricsgraphicsjs - simple API to statically visualize time-series data. mpl 2.0 license
Cubism.js - by Square, more complicated API for time-series that can automatically refresh, with less pre-built chart options, but more extendability/flexibility. APL 2.0 license
D3js - even more complicated API with more extendability/flexibility, but requires more work to create the data representations. Has wide variety of static data visualizations available. BSD 3-clause license.

Spike to take a look whether we can reuse some other solution such as RPM, SolarAnalytics instead of building something ourselves.

Spike to see how it will fit into the API ML and whether this will be another service or what is the right place to put it and how is this going to be used in case the previous spike came out unsuccessfully.

This spike was completed via the UX proposal, which suggests this will be another service that is linked from the GW homepage

Perhaps rather than a custom UI dashboard, we could generalize the dashboard for system metrics. E.g. you provide a URI that provides resources to embed a dashboard, so the end user can just configure the metrics dashboard to use grafana, or any other prebuilt UI dashboard.

From the work done on #1101, grafana dashboards can be created and then embedded into the Metrics Service.
