Visualize Dead Letter Counts in RabbitMQ Deployed in AKS

 Using the prometheus data obtained by "Enabling Prometheus Data Scraping for RabbitMQ Cluster Deployed with RabbitMQ Cluster Operator on AKS with Managed Prometheus", let's create grafana chart to view any messages land in dead letter queues in the RabbitMQ cluster deployed in AKS.

The expection is to have a chart as shown below.

Enable Prometheus Data Scraping for RabbitMQ Cluster Deployed with RabbitMQ Cluster Operator on AKS with Managed Prometheus

 Once we have "Setup Managed Prometheus for AKS via Terraform" and  "Set Up RabbitMQ Cluster in AKS Using RabbitMQ Cluster Operator", we can enable monitoring for RabbitMQ in AKS. To enable Prometheus data scraping for RabbitMQ cluster on AKS, we need to deploy a service monitor. Additionally, we can deploy a pod monitor as well to scrape metrics from the RabbitMQ clsuter operator. When data scraping enabled, we would be able to get the metrics data for RabbitMQ as shown below, on Azure managed grafana using Azure managed prometheus on AKS as the data source, via an Azure monitoring workspace.

Enable Windows Data Scraping for AKS Managed Prometheus with Azure Managed Grafana

 We have "Setup Managed Prometheus for AKS via Terraform", however, that setup alone will not provide windows metrics from AKS clsuter to Azure managed Grafana. We have to addtionaly, setup Windows exporter and couple of additional configurations to make it work as decribed in the official Microsoft docs here. Let's look at step by step how to enable windows metrics for AKS with managed prometheus.

Expected outcome is getting metrics such as shown below to managed grafana and visualizing them.
