[Wikimedia-l] Fwd: [Wikimania-l] git.wikimedia.org dead due to wikimania ; )

Hello,

I always believed that our servers where monitored 24/7? But nobody seems
to be arround to fix a core part in our systems?

* everybody else is at wikimania

Doesn't this imply that nobody is at Wikimania?

Not magically, despite the amount of unicorns bought by the WMF. You're
looking for https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51983

No development is really prevented by gitblit being down; business as
usual continues on gerrit.wikimedia.org and this additional reliability
is actually what they wanted to achieve by moving gitblit (formerly
gitweb) to a separate server.

Hi Huib.

You've been around quite a long time, so it shouldn't be new information
to you that the appropriate mailing list for an issue like this is
wikitech-l (where there's already an ongoing thread), not wikimedia-l. And
you should also know that for issues like this, the best place to search
is Bugzilla, as both Nemo and myself have now pointed out (specifically
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/51769>).

You seem to be a bit confused about core v. non-core services. In the
Wikimedia world, core functionality generally means that the wikis are
accessible for, at the very minimum, read access. Peripheral services and
sites have varying levels of criticality, though there's no rating system
in which git.wikimedia.org (a simple Git repository viewer) would be
considered core (though it being completely down can be considered
critical, as it makes development work more tedious and annoying).

Obviously the operations team has a number of monitoring systems in place.
The public monitoring dashboard is here: <http://status.wikimedia.org>.
