But that will change next week when we lock it down tighter. 16:11 < mmcgrath> .ticket 506 16:11 < zodbot> mmcgrath: #506 (Advertisement for FOSS used in infrastructure) - Fedora Infrastructure - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/projects/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/506 16:11 < mmcgrath> wtf is that? 16:11 * mmcgrath clicky 16:11 < mmcgrath> ricky: thats currently assigned to you, mind moving it to F10? 16:11 < ricky> Sure thing 16:12 < mmcgrath> .ticket 34 16:12 < zodbot> mmcgrath: #34 (Voting app should include confirmation page) - Fedora Infrastructure - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/projects/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/34 16:12 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: ping 16:12 < mmcgrath> G: ping 16:12 < abadger1999> I'll push this one back to F10 16:12 < G> That can be posted on the elections trac :) 16:12 < mmcgrath> so you two have been working on re-building the app completely right? 16:12 < abadger1999> But the good news is G is working on that! 16:12 < mmcgrath> excellent. 16:12 < mmcgrath> k, move that to a F10 target then. 16:12 < mmcgrath> .ticket 226 16:12 < zodbot> mmcgrath: #226 (update log analyzer configuration on lockbox) - Fedora Infrastructure - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/projects/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/226 16:12 < mmcgrath> yingbull: ping 16:13 < yingbull> pong 16:13 < yingbull> I'm working on this one. 16:13 < mmcgrath> yingbull: mind talking a bit about the log analyzer? Its a F9 target, should we push that back to F10? 16:13 < lmacken> so yeah, these daily mails have gotten a bit out of control 16:13 < yingbull> We can do this before the freeze. 16:13 < yingbull> Ok, so the deal is... 16:14 * mmcgrath was hoping he'd say that :) 16:14 < yingbull> The daily emails got huge after a puppet error filled them afew days ago (really huge). 16:14 < yingbull> I believe that is fixed now. 16:14 < yingbull> So I'm going to see tomorrow what it looks like. 16:14 < mmcgrath> so whats the next biggest offender? 16:14 < lmacken> 8153 Apr 24 root ( 39M) Fedora Infrastructure system events: Thu Apr 24 10:28:42 2 16:14 < yingbull> Puppet, still. 16:14 < mmcgrath> :) 16:14 < yingbull> Even before the errors, there was a lot of noise. 16:15 < yingbull> I'm going to weedeater most if not all of puppet. 16:15 < yingbull> Once that's out of the way, its a lot more manageable and it'll be easier to see what needs to be done. 16:15 < lmacken> long term, I think a nice web-interface with nagios-style notifications for errors would be a nice solution to handling our logs, not just for machines but apps as well 16:15 < yingbull> I figure I'll just weedeater whatever the big offender is each day, till its manageable -- or create tickets to fix the problem, of course, if its a problem the logs are reporting. 16:16 < yingbull> Zenoss has some nice integration with syslog for events. 16:16 < lmacken> as a side project, I started writing an expert system that handles real-time analysis of logs, which I've been feeding fedora's logs into it. May be a potential solution :\ 16:16 -!- techbugs [n=siddhart(a)60.254.79.190] has quit "Leaving." 16:16 < ricky> Cool 16:16 < abadger1999> Is there a possibility to leave it as plain text instead of html? 16:16 < yingbull> lmacken: Sounds good. epylog seems to be the best we've got at the moment, and I think as long as the noise is out so we get better signal:noise, it'll be adaquate. 16:17 < mmcgrath> yingbull: the future is wide open there. If you've got somethign in mind just let us know. If you think you can put something together though we're all for it. 16:17 < jcollie> lmacken: too bad splunk is not open source 16:17 < yingbull> abadger1999: Yes, it can be set to do plain text. 16:17 < lmacken> yingbull: sure. My problem is that too much stuff goes unparsed, and our TG apps aren't even being monitored 16:17 < lmacken> jcollie: my app will hopefully be a good contender to that 16:17 < yingbull> but it's all or nothing, unless we run it twice. 16:17 < mmcgrath> dgilmore: ping, do you know why puppet keeps getting auto updated on the builders? 16:17 < jcollie> lmacken: have you published the source anywhere? i need something like that at work 16:18 < mmcgrath> yingbull: would you do me a favor and just ignore all puppet traffic for now? 16:18 -!- k0k [n=k0k@fedora/k0k] has quit Remote closed the connection 16:18 < yingbull> lmacken: I'm going to try and have stuff either parsed, or weedeatered, or gone. I don't think it should be too bad. 16:18 < abadger1999> yingbull: I would appreciate that as html mail makes my stupid graphical reader crawl. 16:18 < mmcgrath> yingbull: we're in a particularly interesting period where its generating lots of crap but we'll be fixing that with the upgrade. Then we can un-ignore it. 16:18 < yingbull> mmcgrath: sure can, I'll change that today and run the logs again. 16:18 < lmacken> jcollie: not yet, but I'll try and whip the code into shape soon. My buddy at google wrote the crazy parsing code in thebackend, and recently wrote python bindings. So I'll hack on it a bit and try and release it at some point after F9 :) 16:18 < jcollie> lmacken: cool 16:19 < mmcgrath> yingbull: thanks 16:19 < yingbull> abadger1999, mmcgrath: I can set it text but it would be global. 16:19 < lmacken> yingbull: thanks for keeping this ball rolling 16:19 < yingbull> lmacken: No problem. I have access enough now I can do this :-) 16:19 < lmacken> good good 16:19 < yingbull> Do we want text versions? 16:20 < abadger1999> Well...anyone against emitting plain text for the log messages? 16:20 < yingbull> Should I run it once and we can see if its horrid? 16:20 < lmacken> sure 16:20 < lmacken> my mutt config throws html emails at w3m before viewing, so it doesn't make a difference to me :\ 16:20 < abadger1999> sounds like a good plan. 16:20 * mmcgrath prefers plain text but is open to whatever. 16:20 < yingbull> OK, I'll change it to text and we'll go from there. 16:21 < mmcgrath> yingbull: sounds good, anything else? 16:21 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: not sure 16:22 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: I did not intentinally enable autoupdates 16:22 < mmcgrath> <nod> 16:22 < mmcgrath> the last ticket for this milestone is 16:22 < mmcgrath> .ticket 231 16:22 < zodbot> mmcgrath: #231 (post master directory space usage for mirrors) - Fedora Infrastructure - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/projects/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/231 16:23 < mmcgrath> This should be doable by then. I'll have to talk to jesse about where to put it. 16:23 < mmcgrath> So thats the last ticket related to the release. Anyone have anything release oriented they'd like to discuss? 16:23 -!- tibbs [n=tibbs@fedora/tibbs] has quit "Konversation terminated!" 16:24 < mmcgrath> k, then we'll move on to the normal tickets 16:24 -!- mmcgrath changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Infrastructure -- Tickets! 16:24 < mmcgrath> .tiny https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/query?status=new&status=assi… 16:24 < zodbot> mmcgrath: http://tinyurl.com/2hyyz6 16:24 < mmcgrath> .ticket 519 16:24 < zodbot> mmcgrath: #519 (Network outage PHX - 2008-05-03 14:00 UTC) - Fedora Infrastructure - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/projects/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/519 16:24 < mmcgrath> oy.

(usher) 16:27 * mmcgrath hasn't looked at that problem in weeks. 16:28 < abadger1999> It's mentioned in the upstream ticket and I copied it to ours but rmcgrath hasn't responded with an eval of whether it would work for us. 16:28 < mmcgrath> k 16:29 < mmcgrath> and I can't get ahold of rmcgrath in #fedora-admin so we'll have to come back another time 16:29 < mmcgrath> .ticket 446 16:29 < zodbot> mmcgrath: #446 (Possibility to add external links on spins page) - Fedora Infrastructure - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/projects/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/446 16:29 < mmcgrath> dgilmore: ping?

Not much came back (some did) but not much. 16:35 < dgilmore> low thoughput,/ cost from ISP's for using them 16:35 < mmcgrath> shouldn't torrents fix that? 16:35 < G> dgilmore: in some countries, the international link is fine, but it's the cost of the final mile :) 16:35 -!- jgraham [n=jgraham(a)c-24-91-211-27.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] has quit "Ex-Chat" 16:36 < dgilmore> G: well yes Oz and NZ are special 16:36 < mmcgrath> I only bring it up because we have a torrent box (sort of once we can get this hardware issue figured out) that should be able to host quite a few localized spins. 16:36 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: that will partly help 16:36 < dgilmore> as long as we get enough seeders locally 16:37 < mmcgrath> <nod> well in general I'm for that but I'm not sure how we'd implement it. 16:37 < dgilmore> anyways i just wanted to bring up the topic 16:37 < mmcgrath> Finding 500M to a couple G might not be that difficult. 16:37 < mmcgrath> its a good topic 16:37 < dgilmore> get it on the radar 16:37 < mmcgrath> cool 16:38 < mmcgrath> dgilmore: please do open a ticket if you want to discuss it in the future. We can track ideas there and send the localization teams there for ideas. 16:38 < dgilmore> thats all i wanted to bring up 16:38 < mmcgrath> anyone have anything else to discuss? 16:38 < dgilmore> :) 16:38 < dgilmore> will do 16:38 < mmcgrath> if not we'll close in 30 16:39 < mmcgrath> 10 16:39 < mmcgrath> 5 16:39 -!- mmcgrath changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Infrastructure -- Meeting End

app6 up
by Matt Domsch 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

so I'm a little late requesting permission, though I was on IRC during the whole "ordeal" :-) so plenty of people had a chance to object. I brought up app6 as a xen guest on telia1.fp.o in Germany. It's only running MM's mirrorlist server right now, but all seems fine and dandy. -- Matt Domsch Linux Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux

Change Request: Even newer python-fedora
by Toshio Kuratomi 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

In testing the bugzilla sync scripts on Fedora Servers I found a few bugs in python-fedora's bugzilla handling (one's an update of the user to bugzilla email mapping. The other is returning bugzilla email addresses from one piece of the API.) I need to get a new python-fedora on the app servers to address these issues. Patch with the proposed code changes is attached. -Toshio
