Remove or clarify the purpose of the duplicate Prometheus data source configuration.

There appears to be a duplicate Prometheus data source configuration. This new configuration at lines 593-611 has the same name ("ds_prometheus") as the existing configuration at lines 566-582. Having multiple data sources with the same name can lead to confusion and potential errors in the dashboard.

Consider the following actions:

  1. If this is unintentional, remove the duplicate configuration.
  2. If there's a specific reason for this additional configuration, please clarify its purpose and consider renaming it to avoid confusion.
  3. If this is meant to replace the existing configuration, update the existing one instead of adding a new one.

New panels added for enhanced monitoring

Three new panels have been added to the dashboard, providing valuable insights into vmalert's performance and resource usage:

  1. "CPU spent on GC": Monitors the percentage of CPU time spent on garbage collection.
  2. "Connections": Tracks the number of established connections to remote write endpoints.
  3. "Bytes write rate": Shows the global rate of written bytes via remote write connections.

These additions significantly improve the dashboard's ability to monitor vmalert's resource utilization and performance. They will help in identifying potential bottlenecks and optimizing the system's configuration.

Consider updating the dashboard's documentation or README file to include information about these new panels and their significance in monitoring vmalert. This will help users understand the new metrics and how to interpret them.
