Move XHGui from tungsten to xhgui-001
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

(This task was originally only about setting up XHGui in Beta Cluster, but has been repurposed to be about migrating XHGui from an old server to a new server in production, and this time, doing the same in Beta Cluster).

  • Create "xhgui-001" production instances. – T238098
  • Create Beta Cluster instance: deployment-xhgui01.
  • Create new webperf role for xhgui and apply it to xhgui-001 in prod (via Puppet) and xhgui01 in Beta Cluster (via Horizon).
  • Finish porting of xhgui provisioning in Puppet to actually work from old Debian Jessie (non-role class, currently applied to tungsten) to Stretch.
  • Switch performance.wikimedia.org/xhgui to new server in Beta Cluster.
  • Enable new XHGui server in MediaWiki for Beta cluster.
  • Switch performance.wikimedia.org/xhgui new XHGui server in production.
  • Import MongoDB data from tungsten to xhgui1001/xhgui2001 in production & enable new XHGui server in production MediaWiki.

Signing over within the team, but feel free to reach out to @Dzahn with any questions :)

Hi @dpifke I'd be happy to get this finished. Wanna talk about next steps on IRC?

I asked about the upgrade path for mongo in #mongodb on Freenode and the advice i got was:

  • The needed version steps are: 2.4 -> 2.6 , 2.6 -> 3.0 , 3.0 -> 3.2 (or 3.x ?)
  • "don't recommend going through the dump, and even less export data"
  • recommend to use mongodb apt repos instead of Debian ones ("as much as i like Debian...")

Sorry for not documenting the latest progress in this ticket; discussion has been taking place in the performance team meetings. It sounds like at least three of us have now gone through the same process of determining that upgrading MongoDB is infeasible. :(

XHGui has partial support for using PHP's PDO driver with MariaDB, and I've gotten this mostly working in a local install. There are a handful of issues that need to be bundled up into a patch, to be submitted upstream (and possibly patched into a local deb, depending on upstream's responsiveness). Once this is done, and the relevant MariaDB database is created, we can drop MongoDB completely. This is an OKR for me this quarter.

[labs/private@master] Add passwords for labs XHGui database

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/604498

The xhgui package (and dependencies) were tested on deployment-xhgui02.deployment-prep.eqiad.wmflabs (new Debian buster instance), by manually uploading the packages to /opt/debs, running dpkg-scanpackages to build the index, and then creating /etc/apt/sources.list.d/local.list as:

deb [trusted=yes] file:///opt/debs ./

This last step got overwritten on the next puppet run, but I was able to apt install the new packages for testing before that happened.

The puppet changes were then successfully debugged, and I briefly pointed https://performance-beta.wmflabs.org/xhgui to it (by editing hierdata in horizon) to verify things were working. (I switched it back, since I'm going to be away for a week and I'm not sure if anyone else is using the current XHGui setup in beta.)

I did a test deploy of the mediawiki-config patch in beta, and everything looked OK, but the profiles weren't making it into the DB. This might have been a test setup issue; I will debug more as soon as I'm back.

I'm leaving the operaitons/puppet and labs/private changes cherry-picked in deployment-prep, as they shouldn't have any effect on anything else running there. (The changes have been tagged as such in Gerrit.)

work on getting the needed mysql db up continued here: T254795#6253646

https://performance.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/xhgui now points at the new instance in beta.

I've temporarily mapped https://performance.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/xhgui-old to the old instance, but it still thinks it's being served from /xhgui, so links require some manual munging in the URL bar. Profiles are being written to both instances, but have different identifiers, so one must match up the timestamps when comparing old vs. new.

As far as Krinkle & I can tell, there are no substantial differences between the two.

We want to migrate the data from the old instance in prod, so I'm going to hack together a quick script for that next.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/ /608911

@dpifke I merged the "dependency on MongoDB" change now that we have the database and credentials are in PrivateSettings.

It did not affect tungsten. It did affect webperf1001 though which is now missing a value for "xhgui_old_host".

I made this to follow-up, good to go?

xhgui and the php- packages it needs are now available from apt.wikimedia.org for buster. (T254310#6347259)

xhgui* hosts need to be reinstalled with buster next so that they can be used (T259206)

[operations/puppet@production] switch xhgui2001 from xhgui::app to webperf::xhgui

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/617546

  • xhgui2001 has been reinstalled with buster
  • xhgui2001 has been switched to the new puppet role without the mongo db dependency
  • some puppet dependency issues have been fixed
  • xhgui has been installed succesfully by puppet

MongoDB data has been migrated to MariaDB in beta.

The production MongoDB data has been dumped and converted to SQL, using the same process as with beta.

Uploading the results is taking a long time, so I'm going to have to load it into MariaDB in the morning.

After fixing a couple of minor issues with the migration script, the production xhgui database is now up-to-date as of yesterday's MongoDB dump. We can run the dump/export cycle again after cutting over, to pick up any records written in the meantime.

Great news! Thank you. So we just need to agree on when to merge https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/552357 now?

Yes. Ideally we flip the switch ~simultaneously with pointing MediaWiki to the new instance. I'll prep the mediawiki-config patch.

Are we comfortable doing this first thing tomorrow (Pacific time), heading into a three-day weekend, or do we want aim for Monday? The MediaWiki change should only affect the mwdebug servers, so I don't think it needs to wait for the backport window.

Assuming things seem stable after the switch, I'd want to do one last dump of MongoDB on tungsten, then keep it around for a few days just in case we need to roll back for some reason.

I wouldn't mind doing it tomorrow morning and merging the puppet change. Would you be able to deploy the MW config change though?

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/619886

I can do the deploy, assuming someone with +2 rights in mediawiki-config approves.

I forgot that I had set it up to send to both destinations if both are configured; this means we should plan to deploy the config patch to the mwdebug hosts first, then verify that profiles are making it into the MariaDB instance, then flip the front-end in Puppet.

I did a final dump of the MongoDB database and confirmed it contains no records since 2020-08-18. To save the profiles written between when the previous dump was taken and when we switched over, unique records are now being imported into MariaDB.

We are good to go with decommissioning tungsten.
