报告的系统信息
| 名稱 | 描述 | 示例 | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| wiki | Cryptographically random hash | 49748f9060251596beb44eaac206135c | This is a unique hash that is generated once per MediaWiki installation and then saved in the updatelog table under the "PingBack" key. |
| database | Configured database type | "mysql", "sqlite" | To understand the usage and popularity of different database types. |
| MediaWiki | MediaWiki版本 | "1.28.0" | To see the usage of different MediaWiki versions, and when people update to newer versions. |
| PHP | PHP版本 | "5.6.0", "7.0.9" | To see the usage of different PHP versions, and if we want to raise the minimum requirement, what the impact would be. |
| OS | Operating system and release | "Linux $version", "Windows $version" | To see how MediaWiki is used on different operating systems, and the versions of those operating systems |
| arch | 识别32位和64位 | "32", "64" | To see how extensively MediaWiki is used on 32-bit systems, and what the impact would be of only supporting 64-bit systems. |
| machine | 硬體 | "x86_64" | To see what architectures MediaWiki is used with |
| serverSoftware | Web 服务器软件 | "Apache/2.4.10 (Debian)" | To see which webservers MediaWiki is used with, and whether compatibility hacks for specific versions of webservers should be kept. |
| memoryLimit | PHP 内存限制 | 220M | To see the amount of memory MediaWiki normally has available and what the impact would be of potentially raising MediaWiki's memory requirements. |
实现
The time and data sent is logged to the debug log when it is enabled.
The data points are implemented in the includes/Pingback.php file.
Enabling the Pingback; Data collection and use
The web installer asks the user if they want to enable the feature during the installation of MediaWiki.
The user may choose at this time to opt out of the pingback. If the user opts in, the pingback feature will send new data on the first page load after upgrading to a new version of MediaWiki.
Starting with MediaWiki 1.31.0 a monthly heartbeat ping will be sent by active wikis (see 任务T189785).
Users may choose to enable or disable the pingback at any time by setting the $wgPingback configuration variable in LocalSettings.php. However, this will not delete any data that has already been transmitted to our servers.
The pingback anonymously tracks which version of MediaWiki is being used, along with the configured database type and PHP version, as well as your operating system, system type (32-bit or 64-bit), machine hardware, server software, and memory limit. The feature also sends a unique ID with the data transmission, which is used to track upgrades made to wikis over time.
You may view your wiki’s ID after a pingback is sent by running the following SQL command:
SELECT * FROM updatelog WHERE ul_key = 'PingBack';
For more information, please see the complete MediaWiki Pingback privacy statement.
Access to data
Aggregate pingback data is available at https://pingback.wmflabs.org. The code behind those queries displayed on that page be found in the analytics/reportupdate-queries repo. The config can be found on meta.
Currently the raw pingback data is stored in Wikimedia's EventLogging database. Users with a signed NDA with the WMF (see wikitech:Volunteer NDA for the process) can access the data via analytics machines.
