Hi @ksatchit, thanks for this.

Could you provide a bit more of a description of this project? There's discussion about creating a dashboard in the upstream issue, is that a part of this? Would a successful candidate need frontend web or design skills to do this work?

Also, we prefer to have more than 1 mentor, is there anyone who would be able to help @ispeakc0de with the mentoring?

@ispeakc0de, could you approve or 👍 this PR to confirm your participation?

Hi, just following up on this. @ksatchit & @ispeakc0de.

Hi @nate-double-u, this project adds observability to the LitmusChaos control plane services in the form of Prometheus metrics to (A) verify the health of the Litmus installation and (B) expose useful stats about the usage/chaos experiment execution

The dashboard referenced here & in the upstream issue is a Grafana dashboard that is constructed using the aforesaid Prometheus metrics (the corresponding JSON would be made available as an artifact in the Litmus repository itself and also uploaded to Grafana public dashboards. Essentially as an improvement over this one: https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/12096-litmuschaos-dashboard/)

No specific frontend/web design skills are required for the above.

@Adarshkumar14 will be a co-mentor alongside @ispeakc0de for this project.
