Connection was lost with the following error statement.

VACOLS query started
run_query failed

Monitor should be able to recover on loss of connection.

• Monitor returns boolean values from its API indicating whether or not dependencies are up or down.

Currently one or two of them have gone missing. So I need to find more that work

We poll VACOLS and send gague statistics to prometheus/grafana. We'd like to send these stats to Datadog as well.

Bring in the dogstatsd-ruby library and send these stats to datadog.

AC:
Caseflow Monitor should be using FindDocumentVersionReference instead of FindDocumentSeriesReference to monitor the service.

VVA is now a dependency of Caseflow. We should add it as part of the monitoring system.

Steps:

• Register a fake VVA service (https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/caseflow-monitor/tree/master/lib/fakes)
• Implement real VVA service (https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/caseflow-monitor/tree/master/app/services)

Unit test doesn't exist. So either implement one, or ignore it. :)

Monitor was not able to capture the VBMS partial outage that we have experienced. It is likely because Monitor is only programmed to use one case number for all of its query. We should consider using a wider range of case numbers to capture the states of external systems.

While this is not blocking any activity, it caused some alarm with users.

Problem

We've been seeing a major jump in the latency that Monitor reports for VACOLS.

Theory

The DataDog integration in vacols_service.rb may be costing more time than we anticipated. It was introduced around the same time as the observed jump in latency.

Description

Observed, just minutes apart:

11:46

11:47

11:49

Can we explain why this is happening?

Some stakeholders want to know if Redshift and other data warehouse services are healthy or not. These are not upstream services that Caseflow depends on (as other monitor widgets reflect) but they are downstream services that other systems depend on (Tableau).
