I see the potential problem then. James, try something else for me: Instead of Rolling Active Editor, which is a heavy and scary metric, try using Edits with:
Start: *June 1st 2014* End: *October 1st 2014* Time Series by: *month* Namespaces: if you leave this blank, it will get all namespaces, which sounds like what you're looking for Then you can look at the CSV result and do some quick analysis on which editors had 5+ edits per month. The "Time Series by" parameter is key there. Just so you don't think I'm making you a test subject, I tried this myself for 2 months of data and the report finished quickly. So I'm confident that it will work, but let us know if you have trouble. Also, while running Rolling Active Editor we ran into performance issues and failures as we predicted above. This is an infrastructure issue that's very tricky to fix, so there's probably nothing we can do in the short term. Either way we've opened a ticket and are looking at the problem: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T93217 On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 2:55 PM, Kevin Leduc <[email protected]> wrote: > I am Kevin (Product Manager for the Analytics team) and I am keeping an > eye on this thread and what we could do better. > > On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 11:47 AM, Edward Galvez <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Sorry - I meant Dan! >> >> And thanks for the clarification James (those metrics make sense) >> >> >> >> On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 11:44 AM, James Hare <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> (Who’s Kevin?) >>> >>> For Rolling Active Editor, I decided to chunk it into month-long >>> periods.
