Summary¶

https://stats.openqa-monitor.qa.suse.de/d/WebuiDb/webui-summary shows no I/O panels any longer. I could imagine that this might be related to our generation of the dashboard but has to be checked.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: We have IO panels and data back for openQA webUI and workers

Suggestions¶

• Maybe related to grafana version update so that the maybe still in the background existing panels are visible (vague guess by nicksinger).
• Investigate if the generated JSON shows invisible panels, try to play around in the graphical editor how a newly created panel would look like in the generated JSON: okurz thinks that the stuff is still there, from https://stats.openqa-monitor.qa.suse.de/d/WebuiDb/webui-summary?orgId=1&editview=dashboard_json

• Read about https://grafana.com/blog/2020/06/09/learn-grafana-how-to-automatically-repeat-rows-and-panels-in-dynamic-dashboards/ and if we can make use of it here
• After fixing it take a look if there is a better way to generate which is less error-prone
