[BLOG] How to monitor Cortex

[oberkem]

Describe the blog post

There is a lot of inquiries in Cortex Slack channel about debugging Cortex's microservices. Maintainers usually ask the same questions about how many instances are running, size of the instances, resource utilization as well as RED metrics. It would be great to write a blog post and provide dashboards as templates as code (grafana/perses etc.)

This should probably be a guide or tutorial instead of a blog. I expect this content to be updated constantly.
There are already pre-built dashboards in https://github.com/cortexproject/cortex-jsonnet/tree/main/cortex-mixin/dashboards and we can have a tutorial for how to use that.
