Monitor backup software

velero serves prometheus metrics by default. The helm chart has a toggle for creating a ServiceMonitor, which is not enabled by default. We should enable that, and probably add alerts for failed backups.

See also https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/2725 .

Unfortunately the metrics don't seem to include backups with warnings, which you get for example when a volume name specified by the velero annotation on the pod doesn't match any of the pod volumes.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
