Jack Baldry c1c48dd610 Use relative aliases for all non-current Grafana aliases (#60062)
* Use relative aliases for all non-current Grafana aliases

Prevents non-latest documentation "stealing" the page away from latest
and through permanent redirects for latest pages that no longer exist.

The redirected pages are indexed by search engines but our robots.txt
forbids them crawling the non-latest page.

# Configure tracing to troubleshoot Grafana
You can set up the `grafana-server` process to enable certain diagnostics when it starts. This can be helpful
when investigating certain performance problems. It's _not_ recommended to have these enabled by default.
## Turn on profiling
The `grafana-server` can be started with the arguments `-profile` to enable profiling, `-profile-addr` to override the default HTTP address (`localhost`), and
`-profile-port` to override the default HTTP port (`6060`) where the `pprof` debugging endpoints are available. For example:
```bash
./grafana-server -profile -profile-addr=0.0.0.0 -profile-port=8080
```
Note that `pprof` debugging endpoints are served on a different port than the Grafana HTTP server.
You can configure or override profiling settings using environment variables:
```bash
export GF_DIAGNOSTICS_PROFILING_ENABLED=true
export GF_DIAGNOSTICS_PROFILING_ADDR=0.0.0.0
export GF_DIAGNOSTICS_PROFILING_PORT=8080
```
Refer to [Go command pprof](https://golang.org/cmd/pprof/) for more information about how to collect and analyze profiling data.
## Use tracing
The `grafana-server` can be started with the arguments `-tracing` to enable tracing and `-tracing-file` to override the default trace file (`trace.out`) where trace result is written to. For example:
```bash
./grafana-server -tracing -tracing-file=/tmp/trace.out
```
You can configure or override profiling settings using environment variables:
```bash
export GF_DIAGNOSTICS_TRACING_ENABLED=true
export GF_DIAGNOSTICS_TRACING_FILE=/tmp/trace.out
```
View the trace in a web browser (Go required to be installed):
```bash
go tool trace <trace file>
2019/11/24 22:20:42 Parsing trace...
2019/11/24 22:20:42 Splitting trace...
2019/11/24 22:20:42 Opening browser. Trace viewer is listening on http://127.0.0.1:39735
```
For more information about how to analyze trace files, refer to [Go command trace](https://golang.org/cmd/trace/).
