[FF] `snowplow_emitter_http_timeout` -- Add HTTP timeout to Snowplow emitter
## Summary
This issue is to roll out [the feature](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/562794) on production,
that is currently behind the `snowplow_emitter_http_timeout` feature flag.
## Owners
- Most appropriate Slack channel to reach out to: `#g_analytics_analytics_instrumentation`
- Best individual to reach out to: @michold
## Expectations
### What are we expecting to happen?
When enabled, the Snowplow emitter will use a custom `SnowplowTimeoutEmitter` (subclass of `AsyncEmitter`) that sets `open_timeout` and `read_timeout` to 30 seconds on HTTP POST requests. This is to debug staging issues where event emission metrics don't match.
### What can go wrong and how would we detect it?
Snowplow events may fail to send if the timeout is too aggressive. Monitor the `gitlab_snowplow_failed_events_total` and `gitlab_snowplow_successful_events_total` counters on https://dashboards.gitlab.net.
## Rollout Steps
Note: Please make sure to run the chatops commands in the Slack channel that gets impacted by the command.
### Rollout on non-production environments
- Verify the MR with the feature flag is merged to `master` and has been deployed to non-production environments with `/chatops run auto_deploy status <merge-commit-of-your-feature>`
- [ ] Enable the feature globally on non-production environments with `/chatops run feature set snowplow_emitter_http_timeout true --dev --pre --staging --staging-ref`
- [ ] Verify that the feature works as expected.
- [ ] If the feature flag causes end-to-end tests to fail, disable the feature flag on staging to avoid blocking [deployments](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/deployments-and-releases/deployments/).
### Before production rollout
- [ ] Ensure that you or a representative in development can be available for at least 2 hours after feature flag updates in production.
### Global rollout on production
For visibility, all `/chatops` commands that target production must be executed in the [`#production` Slack channel](https://gitlab.slack.com/archives/C101F3796)
and cross-posted (with the command results) to the responsible team's Slack channel.
- [ ] [Incrementally roll out](https://docs.gitlab.com/development/feature_flags/controls/#process) the feature on production.
- `/chatops run feature set snowplow_emitter_http_timeout true`
- Monitor the appropriate graphs on https://dashboards.gitlab.net.
### Release the feature
- [ ] Create a merge request to remove the `snowplow_emitter_http_timeout` feature flag.
- [ ] Close this rollout issue.
## Rollback Steps
- [ ] This feature can be disabled on production by running the following Chatops command:
```
/chatops run feature set snowplow_emitter_http_timeout false
```
- [ ] Disable the feature flag on non-production environments:
```
/chatops run feature set snowplow_emitter_http_timeout false --dev --pre --staging --staging-ref
```
- [ ] Delete feature flag from all environments:
```
/chatops run feature delete snowplow_emitter_http_timeout --dev --pre --staging --staging-ref --production
```
