Figure out switchover steps for mwlog hosts
Open, MediumPublic

Description

At the moment we have a standby host for mwlog in codfw (mwlog2001) although I couldn't find anywhere how ready these hosts are for a switchover (and how to perform one)

mwlog1001 serves a bunch of purposes:

  1. udp2log receiver for mediawiki logs (including debug)
  2. hosts redis for xenon/arclamp (mediawiki writes profiles there, cfr T158837)
  3. serve mediawiki logs via rsync (unencrypted) to analytics and dumps hosts
  4. generic udp2log receiver for (scap|scholarships|iegreview) and mirrors this data to logstash (cfr T205856)

@RLazarus I am setting priority to high as the switchover is scheduled for next week.

@jijiki thank you for the triaging, we'll be likely skipping mwlog hosts this time around though (i.e. leave in eqiad)

@fgiunchedi Is this still relevant? Are there some specific steps to be taken for T327920: March 2023 Datacenter Switchover ?

Yes still relevant, no specific steps for the switchover in the sense that to the best of my knowledge we won't be switching mwlog (I might be wrong here!). Though for all intents and purposes folks can (per)use mwlog2002 during the switchover since logs are mirrored there anyways

There is nothing touching mwlog in the procedure or in the cookbooks since it's not a service or behind discovery. Thanks for the confirmation.
