Beta cluster RESTbase not getting new revisions(?), so "Error loading data from server: HTTP 504" in VE
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I'm semi-erratically getting a HTTP 504 error, on the beta cluster, when opening a page to edit in VE.
E.g. this random page: https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/UserMergelyppkq?veaction=edit

If I don't get it the first time, then saving a new revision, and trying to edit again, seems to trigger it.

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND deployment-mediawiki02.deployment-prep.eqiad.wmflabs

Duh, the mediawiki hosts have been changed, fixing...

I just ran sudo service restbase restart on the deployment-restbase[01] instances which seems to have done the trick. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/310796/ should've triggered this through puppet...

Seems it didn't because modules/restbase/manifests/init.pp specifies auto_refresh => false

Yup. We don't want Puppet to randomly restart RB. Working just fine now, resolving. Thnx @AlexMonk-WMF for the restart!
