Add ops-reportcard dashboard with analysis that shows the http to https slowdown on russian wikipedia
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

NavigationTiming is an important schema that can reveal problems quicker. For example, Russian Wikipedia added an https redirect in their Common.js and their page load time increased dramatically.

Write a SQL query that grabs data which could be used to show this problem, then graph it so the information is easy to consume. Use this exercise as a way to brainstorm how to work with NavigationTiming in the future and how to make the useful data it gathers more easy to consume.

@faidon, I haven't forgotten about this. Marcel is working on a reliable scheduler that can run this query across wikis. When that's ready we'll put up a dashboard showing the results.

Wondering whether this dashboard solves this problem: https://grafana.wikimedia.org/dashboard/db/navigation-timing-by-geolocation

Or should we try and make more project-specific monitoring?

Notes from Ori:

  • this would be interesting to see, but even though it's pretty easy to get the data broken up by project, it's hard to show in grafana
  • needs a creative way to visualize outliers without having to visually parse through 900 timeseries lines
  • any alerts built to handle situations like this should be carefully tuned for their sensitive human recipients. Actionable, useful, etc. Probably a good idea to test the alerts on historical data to see if they'd trip correctly.
