Roadmap reference

Phase 4 — Monitoring documentation accuracy.

Problem

docs/metrics-standard.md contains a stale TBD reference:

A reference dashboard JSON is available at `docs/grafana-api-dashboard.json` (TBD — will be committed once Grafana is deployed per issue #7).

However, the Grafana dashboard has already been committed — not as docs/grafana-api-dashboard.json, but as two Flux ConfigMap manifests:

  • flux/monitoring/grafana-dashboard-apis.yaml — consolidated 4-API dashboard (request rate, latency, error rate, data freshness for zip-enrichment, holidays, air-quality, vin-decoder)
  • flux/monitoring/vin-decoder-dashboard.yaml — VIN Decoder-specific dashboard

The docs/grafana-api-dashboard.json file referenced in the docs does not exist and will never be created (the dashboard is delivered as a Flux ConfigMap, not a standalone JSON file).

What to do

Update docs/metrics-standard.md:

  1. Replace the TBD line with a pointer to the actual dashboard locations.
  2. Note that dashboards are auto-loaded by Grafana via ConfigMap label grafana_dashboard: "1".

Example fix

Replace:

A reference dashboard JSON is available at `docs/grafana-api-dashboard.json` (TBD — will be committed once Grafana is deployed per issue #7).

With:

Grafana dashboards are committed as Flux ConfigMaps and are auto-loaded by Grafana via the `grafana_dashboard: "1"` label:
- `flux/monitoring/grafana-dashboard-apis.yaml` — consolidated 4-API dashboard (all APIs)
- `flux/monitoring/vin-decoder-dashboard.yaml` — VIN Decoder-specific dashboard

Dashboards will load automatically once Grafana is deployed (issue #7) and Flux is active (issue #218).

Acceptance Criteria

  • docs/metrics-standard.md no longer references the non-existent docs/grafana-api-dashboard.json
  • Updated text correctly describes the actual dashboard delivery mechanism (Flux ConfigMap)
  • PR merges cleanly with kustomize build flux/ = PASS
  • The (TBD) annotation is removed (dashboards are committed)

Note

This is a pure documentation fix — no code or manifest changes.

Fixed — PR #239 merged

Role: @tech-writer

The stale TBD reference to the non-existent docs/grafana-api-dashboard.json has been removed from docs/metrics-standard.md and replaced with accurate pointers to the committed Flux ConfigMap dashboard locations.

Change applied

Before:

A reference dashboard JSON is available at `docs/grafana-api-dashboard.json` (TBD — will be committed once Grafana is deployed per issue #7).

After:

Grafana dashboards are committed as Flux ConfigMaps and are auto-loaded by Grafana via the `grafana_dashboard: "1"` label:
- `flux/monitoring/grafana-dashboard-apis.yaml` — consolidated 4-API dashboard (all APIs)
- `flux/monitoring/vin-decoder-dashboard.yaml` — VIN Decoder-specific dashboard

Dashboards will load automatically once Grafana is deployed (issue #7) and Flux is active (issue #218).

Validation

  • kustomize build flux/ = PASS
  • PR #239 merged to main
