Details:

• Main task is the migration of alert definitions from splunk to newrelic or prometheus.
• Alert definitions are currently available and defined as code.
• As part of the task, the defined alerts need to be walked through with the service owning teams to determine whether they are still up-to-date and meaningful, and to determine whether they can be migrated to more efficient metric-based alerts (NewRelic, Prometheus) or more efficient Splunk queries. This may involve analyzing the available metrics in the Java code base.
• As another part of the task, splunk dashboards and indexed fields definitions currently defined in a custom configuration-as-code format need to be migrated to terraform.
