2020-02-04 09:37:31 	<kostajh> 	hi, I'm wondering if something has changed with AQS recently. (Context is T244164)
2020-02-04 09:37:32 	<stashbot> 	T244164: Newcomer tasks: module preview showing "0 edits" - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T244164
2020-02-04 09:37:51 	<kostajh> 	specifically, https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/edits/aggregate/cs.wikipedia/user/content/daily/20200103/20200104 used to show results
2020-02-04 09:38:58 	<kostajh> 	mm, looks like the last data is from 31 December.
2020-02-04 09:39:29 	<elukey> 	kostajh: Hi! yes we still need to update aqs to the new snapshot
2020-02-04 09:39:38 	<elukey> 	(that includes january's data)
2020-02-04 09:40:03 	<elukey> 	does it work for data prior to that?
2020-02-04 09:40:06 	<kostajh> 	elukey: ok, thanks. Is there a task I can follow fo rthat?
2020-02-04 09:40:20 	<kostajh> 	elukey: yes it does.
2020-02-04 09:41:10 	<kostajh> 	the problem is that we show data from "1 month ago" so currently all of "number of edits" widgets show 0, e.g. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F31546308
2020-02-04 09:41:41 	<kostajh> 	a super hacky workaround, since we're not too concerned about accuracy, is to show data from "2 months ago" (or 3 months ago), but depends on the timeline of updating AQS
2020-02-04 09:42:40 	<elukey> 	kostajh: is this a feature for mobile or the apps? I wasn't aware of it.. problem is, we should be able to update aqs this week, but IIUC the problem will re-occur every month no?
2020-02-04 09:43:40 	<kostajh> 	elukey: mobile web and desktop
2020-02-04 09:44:07 	<kostajh> 	elukey: we haven't had a problem with it yet, the code went live in the third week of October
2020-02-04 09:44:24 	<kostajh> 	or, maybe we have had a problem and no one noticed
2020-02-04 09:44:32 	<elukey> 	kostajh: yeah I think so :(
2020-02-04 09:45:26 	<kostajh> 	elukey: is the process for updating AQS documented somewhere? if I understand, you manually load data each month, but sometimes this doesn't happen at the beginning of the month?
2020-02-04 09:46:11 	<kostajh> 	so if we update our code to query for one day of edits from 2 months ago, we should be safe?
2020-02-04 09:47:45 	<elukey> 	kostajh: we have jobs in hadoop that every month create https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_Lake/Edits/Mediawiki_history_reduced, but we need to make a code change in AQS to update the data source since it is not a simple update (we calculate every month the whole dataset)
2020-02-04 09:47:50 	<elukey> 	so we need to test etc..
2020-02-04 09:48:00 	<kostajh> 	k
2020-02-04 09:48:31 	<elukey> 	2 months seems safe, but please note the AQS is not supported as mediawiki is
2020-02-04 09:48:49 	<elukey> 	namely, we keep it up as best as possible following best SRE practices etc..
2020-02-04 09:49:02 	<kostajh> 	sure
2020-02-04 09:49:06 	<elukey> 	but it is a service that can go down, and that doesn't page SRE etc..
2020-02-04 09:49:23 	<elukey> 	we get alarms of course :)
2020-02-04 09:49:36 	<elukey> 	but I woudn't use it for something super impactful for users
2020-02-04 09:49:39 	<kostajh> 	yeah
2020-02-04 09:49:53 	<kostajh> 	so, we probably need something else in the UI to show when the number comes back as 0
2020-02-04 09:49:56 	<kostajh> 	ok, thanks :)
2020-02-04 09:50:32 	<elukey> 	we can discuss the use case for sure, but I would reach out to nuria first (my manager)
2020-02-04 09:51:39 	<kostajh> 	I think the existing setup is fine, we can make our UI a bit more resilient
2020-02-04 09:52:15 	<elukey> 	another question is how much traffic does thing bring to AQS
2020-02-04 09:52:26 	<elukey> 	I didn't notice anything horrible in traffic graphs
2020-02-04 09:52:31 	<elukey> 	but do you expect it to grow?
2020-02-04 09:54:23 	<kostajh> 	elukey: not very high traffic at the moment. It's shown to newly registered users on select wikis. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth#Current_initiatives has a table of where we are deployed
2020-02-04 09:54:47 	<kostajh> 	but, French Wiki and Commons are possible additions
2020-02-04 09:55:06 	<kostajh> 	elukey: also, we cache the result for a day (for all users)
2020-02-04 09:55:27 	<kostajh> 	so actually, we're just hitting that raw URL once per day per wiki.
2020-02-04 09:56:28 	<elukey> 	ack thanks
