We've been talking about retiring smolt and replacing it with a sinkhole that accepts data (so older installs don't cause long timeouts when attempting to send a smolt profile) for a while now. puiterwijk wrote the files that we'd need to implement this a few weeks ago. I've now got those changes we'll need into a patch against our puppet repo.
The changes touch the smolt server (value01) which is not covered by this freeze and also the proxies which are.
Well, value03/04 in production...
In addition, I've got a second patch that updates nagios to no longer check smolt. The changes to main smolt are applied in stg and seem to work well. (Have tried smoltSendProfile against the stg server and the links you are given for public profiles)
Can I get a +1 to apply these changes?
+1 here.
Do we also want to link to the smolt retirement wiki page? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Smolt_retirement (which has some additional info that might head off complaints)
Note after freeze we can also:
- Turn off the smolt wiki -- the changes on the proxy should mean it
doesn't see any more traffic but we should be able to stop it from running as well.
- Turn off backups of the smolt db
- Look into making the last smolt db dump available for people who are interested in the data.
- Remove the smolt db (and the smolt mediawiki db) from our mysql
server.
All sounds good.
