Instrumenting an Existing Service for Monitoring

A new service lands on your desk, ready for production! Only, it doesn't seem to have any monitoring, and the dev team have moved on to more urgent needs. Starting with a design document, an existing code-base, an editor and a compiler, we will take this from "runs," to "runs, and is suitable for production use."

Some familiarity with Go is expected. There's (probably) no need for extensive coding, but the workshop does include modifying code, then compile it. During the workshop, you will need a Go compiler and a way of cloning git repositories, as well as running the resulting binaries.
