I modified the alternate tag of serviceops new and I believe this should now be reflected by IRC bot/wikibugs to the -operations channel

The semi-secret magic here was that the #wikimedia-operations channel config matches all Phabricator tags and alternate tags that start with sre- (case insensitive). The case insensitive part is likely non-obvious from reading the current config file.

channels:

  "#wikimedia-operations":
    "ops(-.*)?":
    "puppet":
    "Blocked-on-Operations":
    "SRE(-.*)?":

Matthieu and I had a chat about it. He added to the project an additional hashtag #sre-serviceops-new (link to change) but I don't think Wikibugs2 deal with them. As far as I understand it only inspects the project canonical name.

I apparently remembered more about this in March 2024 when I was discussing T87825: Match on usage of Additional Hashtags, so that project renames don't break the bot in T87825#9618460. @hashar is correct that the display name of the project is what is matched by the regex rules in channels.yaml. That means that matching happens on ServiceOps new rather than #serviceops_new or the alternate tags. I think where I may have gotten myself confused in IRC chat with @MLechvien-WMF was in believing that tasks marked with serviceops were already being reported to #wikimedia-operations. For that to work it would have had to be matching on alternate hashtags as I hallucinated in T415352#11550573.

@MLechvien-WMF you would need to add an entry that adds the #wikimedia-serviceops channel and register to the https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/serviceops_new tag:

channels:
  "#wikimedia-serviceops":
    "serviceops_new":

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibugs#Configuring_channels has a note about wikibugs requiring to have modes vV, I have confirmed that is already the case:

/msg ChanServ flags #wikimedia-serviceops

The task description says that #wikimedia-operations is the desired reporting channel, not #wikimedia-serviceops. Is that incorrect? Either way the matcher should be "serviceops new" (or "serviceops.*" if serviceops should be reported to the same channel). The match is on the project's display name rather than any of the associated tags.

I got confused on the exact channel, nothing should go to wikimedia-operations, I fixed the description.

During last week SRE summit we decided to take that opportunity to route automated updates to a new channel #wikimedia-serviceops-feed.

The intent is to separate our communication with other teams (on the existing #wikimedia-serviceops channel) from the automated bot messages (on that new -feed channel).

I created the channel and gave wikibugs the -vV rights, and I sent a MR your way @bd808 .

Config change was merged and has been pushed to the wikibugs api server. Does this comment lead to the bot joining #wikimedia-serviceops-feed and announcing the task change?
