Probably related to VE performance data being moved to statsd about two hours ago?
Is that data still forwarded to graphite?
I don't know offhand how gdash is configured, however, so I'm not much help.
Configuration is not that hard, mainly it's about gambling on the metric name. The happy few who have access to https://graphite.wikimedia.org/ can browse/search it to discover what's the new name of the metric.
I note there is something at https://grafana.wikimedia.org/#/dashboard/db/comparative-vewt-save-timings
Yes, of course there is. The problem is that I don't know how to fix gdash, and instead of helping you just dismissed my question as "not that hard". :-)
@Memeht, I suspect it is not easy to let you help fixing this task, as probably there is some background and permissions that you should get before. However, just in case you want to dig in, learning about our gdash setup cannot harm. I believe this is the right pointer: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Performance_profiling_for_Wikimedia_code#Graphite.2FGdash

Sorry. I just mean, the first step is finding our the metric name in graphite (if it's even there still).
Then you can just edit the files in operations/puppet/files/gdash/dashboards/ve/ ; I've added links to the syntax docs at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gdash.wikimedia.org now.
Change 181114 had a related patch set uploaded (by Jforrester):
gdash: Fix VE dashboard to point to new names of data streams
Aha. Awesome. Never knew that documentation existed, and couldn't find it before. :-( Trivial to fix, indeed, once you know where to look.
BTW, https://grafana.wikimedia.org/#/dashboard/db/comparative-vewt-save-timings?panelId=5&fullscreen&edit shows the new names of the data streams involved.

Looks ok now, though we've lost history in the year-long graph. Are the numbers comparable to the previous ones? If yes they might be added on the same graph in a followup.
