Motivation

To fully release our new observability infrastructure in self-managed, we need to document it.

Description

This documents the changes landing in MaterializeInc/materialize-terraform-self-managed#359.
Simply enabling enable_observability=true will stand up the new observability modules once the new TF lands.

To discriminate external resources, I included the ⧉ marker (which I have in the monitoring docsite automatically, but had to add specifically here).

Verification

This has been rigorously tested in various environments over the past few weeks in many variations.

Pull request overview

Updates the self-managed observability documentation to reflect the new Terraform-provisioned monitoring stack (Grafana + metrics + logs), replacing the prior Prometheus-scrape-config–focused docs and artifacts.

Changes:

  • Removes the legacy “Grafana using Prometheus” guide and associated Prometheus scrape-config download/config artifacts.
  • Adds a new Grafana guide describing the Terraform-managed monitoring stack and how to access it, including an alias to preserve the old /manage/monitor/self-managed/prometheus/ URL.
  • Updates self-managed monitoring index pages and Terraform variable documentation to point users to the new Grafana guide and enable_observability.
