Bug ID: 44791
Summary: [[wikitech:Server_admin_log]] should not rely on
freenode irc for logmsgbot entries
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
"Server admin log"[1] is updated by morebots (an irc + mediawiki bridge bot run
from the wikitech linode instance).
Via deployments scripts[2] on fenari, logmsgsbot outputs to irc prefixed with
"!log " for morebots to pick up and save to the wiki.
If freenode is not responding well or if netsplit separates these two bots from
each other (happened again today...), during that time deployments are not
logged.
Couple options:
* Have these bots run on the same server (e.g. both from fenari.wmnet or both
from wikitech.linode)
* Merge them into 1 bot (which would have to run from fenari in order to hook
reliably into deployment scripts)
* Have them communicate (also or only) directly to each other instead of via
freenode (e.g. via some socket between the two servers).
