New description:

 Prometheus on its own is nice, but the graphs are not that great. We
 should setup Grafana on top of that instead.

 Grafana is a pain in the bottom to install in Debian: there are upstream
 packages, but they are [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
 bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=835210#42 a mess] so my approach has been to use
 Docker so far.

 I guess we can use the test server for this for now.

 note there is a puppet module for grafana, which supports deploying both
 with the upstream debian package and docker:
