OSS Dashboards for Grafana provided for AIOps Self-Monitoring should be put into GitHub repository if modifications are required, or the product should revert to using standard metric names

Referencing the instructions at:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cloud-pak-aiops/4.11.1?topic=dashboards-kafka-community-dashboard

 

Customers find it confusing that we provide OSS dashboards for self-monitoring  but require changes for them in order to function. This is particularly confusing for customer that already use those dashboards in other contexts.

Either we should re-package the dashboards and include them in the GitHub repository containing the bespoke dashboards at https://github.com/IBM/cp4waiops-samples/tree/main/grafana-dashboards , or (preferably) the self-monitoring metrics should be reconfigured to omit the custom prefix and allow existing deployed standard dashboards to be used.
