Ok thanks for the heads up! On Mon, 27 Apr 2015, Andrew Otto wrote:
Hi again! Today I turned of most udp2log webrequest filters. For now, I have left the Fundraising filters, as well as the 5xx and sampled-1000 filters running. All of these filters are now running on erbium. oxygen's udp2log instance has been shut off. Instead of constantly updating this thread, I will track this here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T97294 Thanks! On Tue, Apr 21, 2015 at 3:49 PM, Andrew Otto <[email protected]> wrote: Hi all! Now that all data that is generated by udp2log is also being generated by the Analytics Cluster, we are finally ready to turn off analytics udp2log instances. I will start with the ones that are used to generate the logs on stat1002 at /a/squid/archive. The (identical) cluster generated logs can be found on stat1002 at /a/log/webrequest/archive. I will paste the contents of the README file in /a/squid/archive describing the differences at the bottom of this email. If you use any of the logs in /a/squid/archive for regular statistics, you will need to switch your code to use files in /a/log/webrequest/archive instead. I plan to start turning off udp2log instances on Monday April 27th (that’s next week!). >From the README: [@stat1002:/a/squid/archive] $ cat README.migrate-to-hive.2015-02-17 *********************************************************************** * * * This directory will run stale once udp2log will get turned off. * * Please use the corresponding TSVs from /a/log/webrequest/archive/ * * instead. * * * *********************************************************************** The TSV files in this directory underneath /a/squid/archive get generated by udp2log and suffer from * Sub-par data quality (E.g.: udp2log had an inherent loss). * Lack of a way to backfill/fix data. * Some files consuming https requests twice, which made filtering necessary. * Consfusing naming scheme, where each file covered 24 hours, but not midnight to midnight, but ~06:30 previous day to ~06:30 current day. The new TSVs at /a/log/webrequest/archive/ contain the same information but get generated by Hive, and address the above four issues: * By using Hive's webrequest table as input, the inherent loss is gone. Also statistics on the hour's data quality are available. * Hive data allows to backfill/fix data. * Only data from the varnishes gets picked up. So https traffic no longer gets duplicated. * The files now cover 24 hours from midnight to midnight. No more stitching/cutting is needed to get the logs for a given day. Please migrate to using the Hive-generated TSVs from /a/log/webrequest/archive/ Thanks! I’ll keep you updated as this happens. -Andrew Otto
