Add premade Grafana dashboards for Sentry statsd metrics #4391

Description

@AlexanderRydberg

Problem Statement

Sentry exposes useful statsd metrics, but self-hosted does not currently provide premade Grafana dashboards for them.

This makes it harder to get visibility into the health of a self-hosted Sentry installation without manually discovering metrics, building dashboards, and deciding which views are useful for day-to-day operations.

It would be useful to have official or recommended dashboards that give operators a good starting point for monitoring Sentry health, performance, throughput, and operational issues.

Solution Brainstorm

Add a set of premade Grafana dashboards for Sentry statsd metrics.

Rather than one large dashboard, it would be useful to have dashboards grouped by operational purpose, for example:

  • An overview dashboard for high-level system health
  • An ingestion dashboard for understanding whether events are flowing through the system correctly
  • A performance dashboard for spotting latency or throughput problems
  • A background processing dashboard for worker and queue health
  • An errors / failures dashboard for identifying degraded components
  • A capacity dashboard for understanding load and saturation
  • A troubleshooting dashboard for common self-hosted operational issues

The goal would be to give self-hosted operators a useful default monitoring setup without requiring them to design dashboards from scratch.

The dashboards do not need to be exhaustive initially. A practical first version with the most useful views would already make self-hosted Sentry easier to operate.
