Create a default set of prometheus alerts
@nmnellis commented on Wed Oct 18 2017
FEATURE REQUEST Describe the feature:
For users that have Prometheus installed, document a set of alerts that an istio user might find useful after istio is running. Some metrics may need to be created to effectively monitor istio.
A short list of nice to have monitors:
- High response times between two http services
- Number of 4xx or 5xx errors abnormally high
- Increase in response volume
There are more but this is a start

@nmnellis Great idea! I think there is lots of ripe territory for improving the observability story here. Perhaps we should flesh out starting points in a document (for instance, should we also use Grafana alerting, etc.?), and then move that into actionable work items. Would you be interested in helping to start such a document (or help me in drafting one)?
