Bug ID: 48737
Summary: Define rules for using Ganglia for individual tool
statistics
Product: Wikimedia Labs
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: tools

There has been some interest to use Ganglia for statistics for bots & Co.
instead of other libraries or off-site services. Obviously, just pointing
users to how to do it could cause a lot of chagrin, with either the statistics
not being grouped under a reasonable host, interfering with system statistics
or just flooding the network.
Instead of trying to sandbox it so that no user can cause havoc or trying to
come up with eternal technical rules (x values per service group per second,
etc.), I propose that we define something more basic, but flexible:
- Ganglia can be used *only* for tools's statistics with admin's approval.
Violators will be LARTed. Approval is handled by admins at benevolent will.
- Admins have a public wikipage where all approved tools, the corresponding
Ganglia groups, the values they send and the rate at which they send them are
kept. Tools must adhere to this plan, changes are only made by admin.
- Statistics for tools are gathered under a pseudo host ("tools-statistics"?)
with one group per tool.
