The Monasca alerting pipeline provides multi-tenancy alerts and notifications. It runs as an Apache Storm topology and generally places a significant memory and CPU burden on monitoring hosts, particularly when there are lot of metrics. This is fine if the alerting service is in use, but sometimes it is not. For example you may use Prometheus for monitoring the control plane, and wish to offer tenants a monitoring service via Monasca without alerting and notification functionality. In this case it makes sense to disable this part of the Monasca pipeline and this patch adds support for that. If the service is ever re-enabled, all alerts and notifications should spawn back automatically since they are persisted in the central mysql database cluster.

Historically Monasca Log Transformer has been for log standardisation and processing. For example, logs from different sources may use slightly different error levels such as WARN, 5, or WARNING. Monasca Log Transformer is a place where these could be 'squashed' into a single error level to simplify log searches based on labels such as these. However, in Kolla Ansible, we do this processing in Fluentd so that the simpler Fluentd -> Elastic -> Kibana pipeline also benefits. This helps to avoid spreading out log parsing configuration over many services, with the Fluentd Monasca output plugin being yet another potential place for processing (which should be avoided). It therefore makes sense to remove this service entirely, and squash any existing configuration which can't be moved to Fluentd into the Log Perister service. I.e. by removing this pipeline, we don't loose any functionality, we encourage log processing to take place in Fluentd, or at least outside of Monasca, and we make significant gains in efficiency by removing a topic from Kafka which contains a copy of all logs in transit. Finally, users forwarding logs from outside the control plane, eg. from tenant instances, should be encouraged to process the logs at the point of sending using whichever framework they are forwarding them with. This makes sense, because all Logstash configuration in Monasca is only accessible by control plane admins. A user can't typically do any processing inside Monasca, with or without this change.
