Description

Where external services/workers are in use, for instance datapusher, harvester etc, it would be awesome to had a tab on the admin page to view information about the status of these services. Whilst interacting with them would probably be a huge amount of work, just viewing statistics such as datapusher backlog, harvester # per stage would be very beneficial.

As a sysadmin
I would like to be able to see metrics related to CKAN services
So that I can better understand how my system is running.

So that I can explain to my users why the Data API button isn't there yet.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the admin page and how CKAN services such as DataPusher and Harvester expose status information. Identify the available DataPusher backlog and Harvester per-stage metrics, then define the admin tab's displayed statistics and verify that the requested service information is visible to sysadmins.
