Chico Questions[edit]
next session[edit]
Flapping alerts in shinken T161898[edit]
Diamond[edit]
- Is there a reason for collecting less metrics about puppet?
- We have an addapted minimalpuppetagent.py that collects a lot less than the original puppetagent.py (it alsos add a _check_sudo method)
- Maybe .puppetagent.changes.total, puppetagent.events.failure puppetagent.events.success and servers.hostname.puppetagent.events.total could be useful as well?

Puppet errors analysis[edit]
- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P6712 (js to get and play with json datapoints)
- I was thinking of doing a simple sum and tolerating somewhere between 3 and 5 failures before warning
- Ended up with -W 5 -C 15 on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/411315
- Track Flaps
Bastion alerts[edit]
- Create alerts specfic to bastion
Using puppet on VPS[edit]
- Docs
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Standalone_puppetmaster
PAWS[edit]
- How to test changes?
- Staging env
- tools-beta
K8s logging retention[edit]
- We can force pods to restart after 30 days, but it sounds like a terrible idea
- Revisit after tools-beta
Other tasks[edit]
- Is there something else I should be looking into?
2018 - 02 - 13[edit]
How is monitoring configured?[edit]
- We have Icinga being phased out for prometheus in productions servers
- Shinken in lab instances
- My goal is to add alerts for tools-bations, seems it should be done in Icinga/prometheus task T186552 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T186552
- We already collect CPU and IO data for tools-bations (https://tools.wmflabs.org/nagf/?project=tools#h_tools-bastion-03_cpu )
- I see we can use a check_graphite_series_threshold to get the loadavg like we are doing with iowait (from https://graphite-labs.wikimedia.org/ )
- There is no total_cpu metric, we need number of cores to know what to set for warning and critical in loadavg
- I see we can use a check_graphite_series_threshold to get the loadavg like we are doing with iowait (from https://graphite-labs.wikimedia.org/ )

WMCS Phabricator etiquete[edit]
- Do we have documentation about how to triage tasks and move them arround projects and workboards?
- TBD
Cloud VPS / Horizon stuff[edit]
- I am still unfamiliar with the interfaces and common questions, maybe I should create a temp project and go through docs.
- make a task for a chicotestproject T187213
- Where are things configured?
- Wikitech
- operations-puppet repo
- Horizon

Wikitech docs[edit]
- Portal namespace for user facing docs
- /admin subpage for WMCS team
Other tasks[edit]
- Is there something else I should be looking into?
- Let's start slow and I'll try to integrate you into my sort of normal workflow
- Flapping alerts in shinken
- host* as way to get % of hosts in failure
