monitoring.o.o / status.o.o

status.o.o [tchatzimichos, tbro]

monitoring.o.o [mcaj, AdaLovelace]

  • Automatic update of status.o.o through monitoring

    • Monitoring to send events to status
    • Status to check periodically if monitoring is accessible
    • Send events maybe through Salt exec modules

  • Send messages via Salt to Icinga with the status.$function exec module

  • collect status with nrpe / checkmk / salt -> send json to icinga

  • Add server to salt and add its configs / services

  • All clients need also basic setup via Salt

  • Monitor from external (Master and Satelite) / (per offered a machine)

  • NTP to chrony (check_mk offers it)

  • icinga1 to icinga2 migration

  • Monitoring in Provo

  • Thruk to combine Nue/Prv/External

Sponsoring [tbro]

  • HW-Wishlist / Colocation-Space / Rootservers -> Write a wishlist [tbro]
  • cpanel sponsored us this year with new 10Gig converged network adapters - thanks a lot!
  • general sponsorship contact is Doug - who always should be the first contact
  • We found out, that maybe not all sponsors are always up-to-date (search.o.o, build.o.o, opensuse.o, etc.)
  • We took part in the TK-Award from ThomasKrenn
    • Unfortunately, we were not in the winners' list :'(
  • Find a replacement with root-servers, rackspace or CDN-solution for widehat.o.o (talk to BuildOPS) [tbro]
  • Evaluate CDN77 possibilities [cmueller]
  • Heinlein -> proceed with mailsetup of opensuse.org and evaluate possibilities [cmueller]

Release Management

  • progress.o.o - update without plugins
  • pontifex monitor bandwith - would be helpful to find bugs
  • openSUSE / publishing-scripts (on GitHub)
    • they are used for Leap15 only - at the moment
    • Tumbleweed should switch to them as well in future
  • Piwik should be split or moved - ask all relevant teams
  • Release (Leap15) will happen after oSC18

Lessons learned

  • This meeting was more focused on maintenance and filling up the ToDo list for the future, in our first meeting in 2016, we were more focused on learning about infrastructure
  • Well organized, no presentation missing, here are things to be done - and here are the people who do it
  • Presentations about major topics: Network, Cloud, Mirror infrastructure, Salt were not given, but were not really missing
  • We want at least one more in-person meeting during the year - one per year is not enough
    • Plans are after the oSC (summer and beyond)
  • On the next meeting, we should have reports of the splitted responsibilities, everybody who took over a responsibility should give a 10-15min overview as a status report about the "specialists topic" what the responsible was working on in the last months
  • We should maybe increase the communication on #openSUSE-admin @ Freenode - it is not really busy and we should maybe talk about more topics there

Future topics

  • Do we want to have the "traditional presentation" at the oSC18 like every year?
    • We don't want to have the "traditional presentation" at oSC18
    • Theo wants to give a presentation on Salt testing in the openSUSE infrastructure
    • Overview of the Heroes could be inside the last board talk
    • We want to do a short advertisement at the oSC18 Lightning talks - it will be 5-10 minutes talk - saying who we are and that we're hiring
