What this PR does

This PR turns off monitoring instance of root tenant in e2e install and removes waits on it. Install patched root tenant with monitoring: true and then waited up to 15m each on vmalert and vmalertmanager, vlclusters/generic, shortterm and longterm vmclusters, grafana-db CNPG cluster and grafana deployment, but nothing in the run looks at any of it.

No chainsaw suite touches tenant-root monitoring objects. Only one that mentions monitoring is foundationdb, it asserts WorkloadMonitor whose CRD comes from cozystack-controller and exists without monitoring stack. Monitoring OIDC wiring is covered by packages/system/monitoring/tests/oidc_test.yaml since #4019 removed orphaned BATS suites. Kubernetes suites run with monitoringAgents.enabled: false and tracing is off by default (tracingStorages is empty), so they don't depend on this instance either.

Those waits were not free. Monitoring stack competes with rest of install for node capacity, and removed block own comment said slow victorialogs start can fail install on PR that never touched monitoring - that's why it was moved to 15m budget.

What stays

Monitoring package stays installed, because tenant-application has dependsOn cozystack.monitoring-application and without the package platform release is never resolved. Only tenant-root instance is off.

Container lane logsStorages override for victorialogs also stays. It does nothing while monitoring is off, but keeps a run that turns monitoring back on from creating immutable replicated PVC on lane that has only local. Its comment, paragraph in docs/agents/e2e-testing.md and comment on Install step env in pull-requests.yaml now say that instead of calling root monitoring install-time workload.

What is lost

curl through root-ingress-controller with Host: grafana.example.org, it was the only check that root ingress actually routes to backend. Grafana was the target just because it was installed. Moving it to seaweedfs host needs expected response checked on live stand first, so it's tracked in #4615.

Savings

Not measured. The happy path never spent the 15m budgets, so what this returns is real bring-up time of the stack plus tail risk, and only CI runs can show how much it is.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The E2E installation test disables monitoring for the root Tenant and removes monitoring-specific readiness checks. The workflow comment and E2E guidance describe how the seeded VictoriaLogs local-storage override applies when a run enables monitoring.

  • observed — hack (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/agents/e2e-testing.md: The paragraph changes the VictoriaLogs override from a second mandatory adaptation applied before enabling monitoring to an override written before the Tenant patch even when monitoring is off by default. If a run enables monitoring, it therefore uses local claims on first render; the CDI StorageProfile override remains mandatory.
  • observed — Modified behavior in hack/e2e-install-cozystack.bats: The StorageClass comment now states that monitoring is off in this run, while explaining that the override applies if monitoring is enabled and must be set before the monitoring HelmRelease’s first render.
  • observed — Modified behavior in hack/e2e-install-cozystack.bats: The root Tenant patch now sets monitoring to false instead of true. The resource-existence wait and accompanying description no longer include the monitoring HelmRelease; the wait still includes etcd, ingress, SeaweedFS, and the parent.
  • observed — Modified behavior in hack/e2e-install-cozystack.bats: The readiness wait no longer includes hr/monitoring; it continues to wait for etcd, ingress, SeaweedFS, and the tenant-root HelmRelease with a 20-minute timeout.

Correct the wait count.

The comment says “four separate 15m waits.” The list on Lines 320-322 contains five wait groups, which also matches the PR objective. Change four to five.

In `@hack/e2e-install-cozystack.bats` at line 320, Update the nearby explanatory
comment in the install wait section to say “five” separate 15m waits instead of
“four,” matching the five wait groups that follow.

The install turned monitoring on in the root Tenant and then waited up
to 15m each on vmalert and vmalertmanager, vlclusters/generic, the
shortterm and longterm vmclusters, the grafana-db CNPG cluster and the
Grafana Deployment. No suite inspects any of it. The one Chainsaw suite
that mentions monitoring, foundationdb, asserts a WorkloadMonitor, whose
CRD ships with cozystack-controller and exists without the monitoring
stack. The OIDC wiring of the monitoring chart is covered by its
helm-unittest suite rather than by the e2e run.

Those waits were not idle. The stack competes with the rest of the
install for node capacity, and their own comment recorded that a slow
VictoriaLogs start could fail the install on a pull request that never
touched monitoring. The run was paying bring-up time and flake risk for
a component it never looked at.

The monitoring package stays installed: tenant-application declares
dependsOn cozystack.monitoring-application, so dropping the package
would leave the platform release unresolved. Only the tenant-root
instance is turned off.

The container lane's VictoriaLogs storage override stays. It does
nothing while monitoring is off, and it keeps a run that turns
monitoring back on from creating a replicated PVC on a lane that only
has local storage.

One check goes with the Grafana waits: the curl through
root-ingress-controller at grafana.example.org, the only assertion that
the root ingress routes to a backend. Grafana was its target because it
happened to be installed, and pointing it at a seaweedfs host needs the
expected response checked on a live stand first.

296-301: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add a monitoring-independent root-ingress routing assertion.

The installation test still enables ingress and exposes api and dashboard, but it now checks only that root-ingress-controller becomes Available. A controller can satisfy that readiness check while failing to route a configured Host to its backend. Add a request through the root ingress with a configured service Host and assert the expected backend response. This is a coverage improvement, not a current production routing failure.

The fixture must create or use a stable monitoring-independent backend, then validate its response through root ingress. This requires additional fixture setup and validation work.

myasnikovdaniil LGTM. I checked the "nothing looks at it" claim on current main and it holds.

No Chainsaw suite, OpenAPI test or install-time test reads anything in tenant-root monitoring. The monitoring CRDs that app charts render against (VMServiceScrape, VMPodScrape, VMRule, PodMonitor) come from victoria-metrics-operator and prometheus-operator-crds in the system bundle, so they are still installed with the root instance off. The open monitoring OIDC suite in #4678 deploys its own Monitoring in the test namespace and does not read the root one either.

The E2E run on 57bf10a passed every suite. Install took 25.9m, against 26.3m to 30.2m on fifteen other PR runs from Oct 1-2. That is one run, so it shows a small drop at best, not a measured saving.

A trial merge with main is clean, and hack/linstor-storage-mode_test.bats and hack/helmrelease-readiness.bats pass on the merged tree.

One thing for later, not for this PR: the management cluster's monitoring-agents still has global.target: tenant-root, so vmagent and fluent-bit keep sending to vminsert and vlinsert services that no longer exist in this run. That did not affect the result, but the scraping keeps running for nothing.

For #4022: it conflicts with this PR in the Install step comment in pull-requests.yaml. Its baseline comment says the install waits on the root services, and after this PR monitoring-application stays in the baseline only because tenant-application depends on it.

## What this PR does

Monitoring OIDC gets live-cluster e2e coverage again. It had none since
the two pre-Chainsaw BATS suites were removed without a port. This adds
a Chainsaw suite in `hack/e2e-chainsaw/monitoring/` that ports what they
asserted, plus the in-place switch from an inline config to a
`secretRef` that nothing covered.

The suite takes one Monitoring release in `tenant-test` through three
modes in a row: System, CustomConfig with an inline config, and
CustomConfig with a `secretRef`. It creates that release itself and
never reads the tenant-root monitoring instance, so it keeps working if
#4023 or #4479 turns root monitoring off.

What each phase checks:

- System mode: cozystack-api admits `spec.oidc` and both HelmReleases go
Ready. The Grafana CR points `auth.generic_oauth` at the cozy realm, has
no `role_attribute_path`, and has `skip_org_role_sync` and
`oauth_allow_insecure_email_lookup` forced. The KeycloakClient is
confidential and references the generated Secret, which holds 32
alphanumeric characters. The audience scope is bound to this release's
clientId. There is no chart-owned `KeycloakRealmGroup`. The users-Job
carries the users and the mode, and `grafana-deployment` reads the
client secret from the Secret.
- Switch to inline: the Grafana CR takes the tenant's map, keeps the
forced keys and drops every System-only key. The users-Job reruns with
the new list. The KeycloakClient, the audience scope and the client
Secret are pruned, and the Deployment stops referencing that Secret.
- Switch to `secretRef`: the inline `auth.generic_oauth` block is gone
from the Grafana CR. The operator Secret is mounted at
`/etc/grafana/oidc` on both the CR and the Deployment. This checks the
mount only and does not prove Grafana loads the file, see #4679.
- After the install and after each switch, neither release may show a
remediation cycle. That means no `failed` or `uninstalled` snapshot, and
the latest revision must be exactly 1, then 2, then 3. The revision
check is there because helm-controller truncates history after the
previous deployed snapshot. An upgrade that failed, rolled back and then
passed on retry leaves no failed entry, only extra revisions.

I did not assert `GF_PATHS_CUSTOM_INI`. I could not find anything in
Grafana that reads it (#4679), and pinning it would make possibly dead
wiring part of the contract.

The coverage split with the render tests is this.
`packages/system/monitoring/tests/oidc_test.yaml` keeps the
fresh-install render of each mode, including the CustomConfig negatives
(no Keycloak objects, no client Secret). This suite covers what a render
cannot see: admission, the Deployment the Grafana operator builds, and
what a switch between modes prunes or leaves behind. The Keycloak
objects are checked as written, so creating the client in Keycloak is
not asserted. Removing it is, because the operator's finalizer holds the
KeycloakClient until the client is gone from Keycloak.

Before the first apply the suite also waits until the tenant's
`cozystack-values` carries `oidc-enabled: "true"`. The outer release
copies `_cluster` into the inner release once, so a Monitoring applied
right after the tenant is created can render from stale values and fail
the System-mode guard for the full 15m. That is what the first CI run on
this PR hit.

The Keycloak CRDs are required, not probed for. The e2e install always
enables platform OIDC, so a missing CRD is a broken install. The removed
suites skipped in that case, and their probe could not tell an absent
API group from a present one.

The selector picks the suite up by name from
`cozystack.monitoring-application` and `cozystack.monitoring`. A change
to `system/monitoring`, `extra/monitoring`, `monitoring-rd` or
`grafana-operator` now runs only this suite instead of the full run. The
tenant-root Grafana bring-up stays covered by the install BATS while it
exists. One selector unit test relied on `cozystack.monitoring` reaching
no suite, so it now renames that source in its copy of the graph.

The second commit keeps Keycloak changes on every suite that drives a
Keycloak client. Before this PR a change to `system/keycloak` or
`system/keycloak-operator` escalated to the full run. With the
monitoring suite it would select monitoring alone, because
`monitoring-application` is the only source that depends on
`keycloak-operator`, and `kubernetes-latest` with its OIDC lifecycle
would drop out. `src_to_suites()` now maps both to `kubernetes-latest
monitoring`. The mapping has to be explicit because
`kubernetes-application` has no `dependsOn` on `keycloak-operator`
(#4680). A `postgres-operator` change now also reaches
`kubernetes-latest`, through Keycloak's database. The selector comment
and the e2e doc no longer use `system/postgres-operator` as the example
of a path with a source that reaches no suite.

Cost: one monitoring stack bring-up, two in-place upgrades and teardown.
I expect 10 to 20 minutes on every full run. The selector change makes
the CI run on this PR a full run, so the suite's own timing is in the
chainsaw report. A red run can spend up to 16m on each of four waits,
since each one sits a minute above the 15m timeout of the release it
waits on.

The suite cannot run locally, so I checked it this way:

- `chainsaw lint test` at v0.2.15, the sandbox version, passes.
- I ran the suite's own steps against a local envtest apiserver.
Chainsaw applies the real manifests, and a stand-in for helm and the
operators renders the chart from the stored Monitoring spec. With the
chart intact all nine steps pass. Each of 30 single breakages of the
chart or of the simulated controllers turns the expected step red.
- `hack/select-e2e_test.bats` and `hack/select-install_test.bats` pass.
The new Keycloak selection case fails without the mapping and when
`kubernetes-latest` is dropped from it.

A browser login through Keycloak is out of scope, same as in the removed
suites.

Left for later:

- KeycloakClient and scope `status` after the operator creates them in
Keycloak is not checked.
- `hack/e2e-chainsaw/README.md` lists suites by hand. I added
`monitoring`, but `backup`, `kafka-metadata` and `kubernetes-proxmox`
were already missing.
- The `operator diff selects all dependent app suites` selector test
could also check `monitoring`.
- The comment on the Keycloak mapping says both suites wait for the
finalizer to remove the client. The monitoring suite does wait.
`kubernetes-latest` only reads once after its upgrade.
- The ready checks compare `observedGeneration` with
`metadata.generation` through `contains()`. Both are fields of the same
object, not a number literal, so the v0.2.15 literal gotcha should not
apply, but no live run has passed this suite yet.
- The inline fixture carries no `enabled: "true"`, so that phase checks
a disabled OAuth block. The asserts do not depend on it.

Closes #4051
