jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 d519ede4e3 monitoring: retarget VPNTunnelDown to node tun0 presence; drop obsolete EgressGatewayUnhealthy
gluetun retirement removes the gluetun_vpn_up gauge and the in-cluster gateway pod. Point
VPNTunnelDown at absent(node_network_receive_bytes_total{device=tun0}) — tun0 exists iff the
host OpenVPN tunnel is up (node_network_up unreliable: tun0 operstate=unknown). This also
fires if the gateway node/node-exporter is down (series goes stale). Remove the pod-readiness
EgressGatewayUnhealthy alert — there is no gateway pod under ADR-0015.

# Platform-health alert rules (docs/10, R-OBS-04). These complement the default node/kubernetes
# rules bundled by kube-prometheus-stack and add FIRST-CLASS alerts for the platform's own moving
# parts: nodes, Longhorn, Flux, cert-manager, networking/VPN, backups, identity, and the monitoring
# stack's own capacity ("don't let the monitor blind itself").
#
# Each rule maps to a docs/10 platform-health bullet and carries a severity (critical = page-worthy
# vs warning = degraded/capacity) plus enough annotation context (summary + runbook) to act.
#
# The `release: kube-prometheus-stack` label makes the operator's Prometheus select these rules
# (ruleSelector). Some expressions depend on exporters/ServiceMonitors owned by other workstreams
# (Flux, cert-manager, Longhorn, Velero, Keycloak, Cilium/Hubble ship their own metrics); the rules
# are authored to fire as soon as those series arrive. Metric names flagged TODO need confirming at
# bring-up against the deployed exporter.
#
# runbook_url points at a docs base; swap for the real runbook location when it exists.
