Provide temporary home for VE visualizations {lion}
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Currently this is hosted at a terrible URL: http://tools-static.wmflabs.org/wikimetrics/ve.html

So we need a proper address in labs. The easiest would probably be to configure limn1 to serve this static file, but I tried and failed since I such at Apache configs :)

Ideally, this would be done in puppet. Also, *important* is to set up usage tracking with what I understand is an existing puppet module.

kevinator triaged this task as Medium priority.

The puppet module that counts requests is logster, in labs it should be able to publish automatically to grapha/graphite

use limn-1 instance?

  • if so add puppet code to pull logster module and new virt host to serve static files
  • can make changes in: /var/lib/git/operations/puppet/manifests/misc/limn1.pp and ammend the HEAD

So we need a proper address in labs. The easiest would probably be to configure limn1 to serve this static file, but I tried and failed since I such at Apache configs :)

Making limn1 serve this file is easy, but there is a bunch of local commits made on that box to get things working and changes to add pageview counters would need to be added by hand there too.
I think that adds more technical debt to what is not an optimal setup. Thus I will fix apache configs so dashboard site can be served from limn1 but not do any more local changes on the box.
