[google-appengine] Debugging Datastore Read usage

2016-12-12 Thread Mark Cummins
Hi, One day last week our Datastore Read Operations were 5x their normal level, and we're trying to identify why. The problem is almost certainly caused by some corner case in our own code. My question is, how can we go about identifying what caused this issue? As far as I can see, our only

The new Python SDK (1.9.49) includes pycrypto update to 2.6.1. We've flipped over to the new library version, and we're now seeing errors like this: 11:28:31.524/base/data/home/runtimes/python27/python27_lib/versions/third_party/pycrypto-2.6.1/Crypto/Util/number.py:57: PowmInsecureWarning:

Thank you for this update, very reassuring and makes me very happy! Personally I'm not too worried about some of the more exotic and less-used services being deprecated, so long as their are reasonable migration paths and the overall platform remains available. On Wednesday, 23 November 2016

We use the old crusty Datastire Admin backup tool. We run it nightly from a cron. We backup most important entity types nightly, and some less important types weekly. We have tested disaster recovery, and it all seems to work fine We do this to defend against programmer error or attack, e.g. If

Is the "pending_ms" metric still reported in the logs? I see it mentioned in various places (e.g. here: http://bjk5.com/post/40833194761/pending-queues-and-loading-requests-on-app-engine) We're trying to debug some latency issues and this seems like a useful metic to examin. However, I can't

The old App Engine console is gone (sadness). The new logs viewer has improved a lot, but it's still frustrating compared to the old viewer. Here are a few things which really bug me, I wonder if anyone has come up with work-arounds or solutions: 1) Collapse the metadata block [part in curly

Will the logs viewer in the Cloud Console be improved before the App Engine console is shut down? The main reason I still use the old console is that I find the old logs viewer much more useful than the new one. The new logs viewer is shows a view that is either totally collapsed (useless) or

Quick workaround I found. If you look at the greyed-out link you'll see the URL has an '' parameter. If you remove that you can still get to all of the greyed out links, at least for now. I hope Google isn't just going to dump this functionality. We rely on Datastore Admin to manage our

The new logs viewer is much less usable. Because it's either totally collapsed or totally expanded, it's much much harder to extract meaningful patterns of events at a glance. I would really like to get back the single-line-per-message view that the old viewer had. Also, it seems slower to
