Control Plane Monitor of Child CF Deployments

[r0bm3]

Currently, the genesis kit assumes when selecting "monitor CF installation" that CF will be installed inside of the control plane.

As a user of Prometheus within the genesis control plane, I need the ability to monitor child genesis CF deployments from the control plane.

below is the output of the preflight check that outlined the issue when attempting this configuration:

$ genesis deploy smo-control-plane.yml
Checking availability of the 'smo-control-plane' BOSH director...

If you want to monitor CF, you have to spin a separate prometheus instance per CF. Due to the nature of the prometheus-boshrelease, you cannot co-mingle CFs in one prometheus.

For that reason, the Genesis Kit pretty much expects to find the CF in the same environment as the BOSH director that is deploying the Prometheus, which is not the case in with the Operations Tier / Control Plane.
