Hey @svrnm I closed the older PR for this

@ishanjainn I've mixed feelings about this post. Half of the post is about Grafana while it claims to be about Ansible. Can we make it more specific to Ansible?

Hey thanks for the review! So the main point is to scale the collectors and only added Grafana (OSS) as the platform to view metrics as thats what seemed simplar. I just added clear steps to monitor in grafana as @svrnm suggested in my previous PR which I had to close

Overall, reads well. Thanks for the post @ishanjainn, and thanks for the first review pass @theletterf.

See inline for other suggested copyedits.

IMHO, the post fails to deliver the promise of the opening paragraph (for details, see my last review comment on the closing paragraph).

While my feedback may qualify as a tech-writer review, I'd prefer waiting for @svrnm and @cartermp to comment as well.

Thanks for the detailed review @chalin and apologies for not following up @ishanjainn, I was out of office for the last few weeks (including KubeCon). I think this is already in a good shape, if you can address @chalin's feedback we should be good, especially take a look at the comment around "delivering what the blog promises", this is a valid point that by fixing will make your blog signficiantly better.

[svrnm]

looks good from my site now, thanks for all the effort!

@chalin can you take a look into the open discussions and see if all your concerns are addressed?

[chalin]

Thanks for the updates.

You'll have a few linter and spelling issues to fix, but it should be good after that.

Hey @svrnm, If I wanted to add a meta image to the blog, Can I edit this in a PR and get that included too or that would not be possible to update now?

[svrnm]

@ishanjainn create a new PR and we can merge that as follow up
