Description

The end of life of Debian Jessie is approaching in 2020 and we need to move to Debian Buster (or Stretch) before that date.

All instances in the shinken project need to upgrade as soon as possible. Instances not upgraded by 2019-12-31 may be subject to deletion unless prior arrangements for an extended deadline has been approved by the Cloud VPS administration team.

Remaining Debian Jessie instances (live report):

shinken-02.shinken.eqiad.wmflabs

I vaguely recall there may have been some packaging-related motivation for
making the current shinken instance Jessie instead of Stretch.

It seems the agreed solution was to kill shinken and make an old icinga instance like production has.

Update: shinken looks to be abandoned, and getting it up and running on Buster is turning out to be quite a disaster. So I'm going to have a go at setting up an icinga 1.x project as a replacement -- 1.x is /also/ abandoned, but at least there are some probably-still-working puppet classes to manage it.
