Sub Tasks

A full breakdown of the steps to complete this task.

• Define terms needed for the task
  • actors: distinct user agents and ips
  • GraphQL endpoint: uri_query LIKE '?action=wbgraphql%' (comes from T417026)
• Write create table and job queries
  • Jobs are one for deriving metadata that deletes data after two months and another for monthly metrics
  • Queries written except for information needed above, which will take 2 mins to add in :)
• Test queries on local schema (can be done once GraphQL endpoint is released)
• Write DAG for metric generation orchestration (data-engineering/airflow-dags/merge_requests/1983)
• Deploy DAG
• Add charts to WD API metrics dashboard (three columns for comparison with REST and Action APIs)
