Add documentation for monitoring your InfluxDB OSS instance #2567

Description

@russorat

I see some references scattered around the docs for the /metrics endpoint in OSS, but no content about what it is, why it exists, and what you can do with it.

It would be nice to have a place to send people for monitoring their local influxdb instance that included information about the /metrics endpoint.

I'm thinking the following outline:

Title: Monitoring your InfluxDB Instance

  • Enabling/Disabling Prometheus /metrics endpoint
  • Securing the endpoint
  • Summary of elements found in the endpoint
  • Configuring Telegraf to scrape data from the endpoint and send it to cloud
  • Configuring an OSS scraper to scrape it
  • Configuring a Flux Task with promtheus.scrape to scrape it and store it locally
