The slides and video are now on commons as well:
* 
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Using_Kibana4_to_read_logs_at_Wikimedia_Tech_Talk_2016-11-14.pdf
* 
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tech_Talk-_Using_Kibana4_to_read_logs_at_Wikimedia.webm

Having the slides may be handy when you watch the video during the
section at the end when I talk about the X-Wikimedia-Debug header and
browser extension. I shared the wrong browser window from my desktop
and didn't notice that the slides weren't being displayed on the
video. :/

[Wikitech-l] [Announcement] Search improvements for file properties

[Chris Koerner]

Hello,

You can now search for file properties such as file size and and file type
on Commons. This includes file media type, MIME type, size, width, height,
resolution, and bit depth.

A few quick examples:
* A search for 'shark' videos [0]
* A search for 'flower' where the files are 16 bit [1]
* A search for 'stars' where the files are PDFs [2]

Please see the documentation for more information. [3]
