Hey @VRiley-WMF I'm not able to log in. Can you check the user/password?
Thu, Apr 2
boxes are imaged, in replication, and ready for traffic once pfw policy is done
hosts are up and running

@Jclark-ctr can you check the network cables for fransw1002? The first network interface doesn't appear to have link.

Password has been set to frack mgmt password for all three.
passwords have been reset to the frack mgmt password

All four are switched to UEFI and built.
@VRiley-WMF I'm not having much luck with this box. Running into two more issues:
Fri, Mar 27
frqueue1005/frqueue1006 are up and running
Thu, Mar 26
@Jclark-ctr I finally had a chance to look into the frmx1002/frdata1003 issue. I think the servers are in the correct rack, but I think they were put in the wrong vlan, so they'll need port and IP changes. These two servers should be in frack-listenerdmz not frack-fundraising.
@VRiley-WMF I'm unable to log in with either the usual temporary password or the standard fundraising one. Can you please check it out?

frmx1002's management interface isn't accessible, doesn't respond to ping
Working on frqueue1005:
- disabled the "embedded" NICs
- set serial port address: COM2
- set console redirection after boot: enabled
- switched boot method to UEFI
- confirmed that first "integrated" NIC pxeboot is enabled
@Jclark-ctr we don't have the prod management password, only the frack one and a temporary one the other DC-Ops use for us. Can you reset these too?

@Jclark-ctr I just noticed it looks like these were configured in the frack-fundraising1-c-eqiad vlan, looks like I missed updating the install details when the task was created. Could you please move them to frack-payments1-c-eqiad and re-IP accordingly?
Mar 18 2026
Note to self: since these are Supermicro, the default management user is "ADMIN"
These have all been updated to the frack management password.

no longer necessary

This doesn't seem necessary or relevant since a lot of work has been done toward DMARC compliance for @wikimedia.org
We're using a third party service for this now.
This was reigned in around 2025-12-16 by adding pattern matches to the jmx config to control what is exported.
tidy{} added to clean up stray output config
There's an updated version of dump_database in puppet, which has a table exclusion feature. This has been deployed to frdb2005 and as of today we're archiving one backup from the old script (frdb1004) and one from the new script (frdb2005).

Normally the mariadb database for payments-wiki is readonly, with the read queries from each application server hitting the local replica. This is a security and availability feature, i.e. there is no dependency on the origin server being available except when the wiki is unlocked for edits. Changing to a read/write database model creates a new SPOF at payments1005.
Done!

@jgleeson this is deployed, it should start collecting once the 6th field is added
Feb 9 2026
There should always be the same number of '|' delimiters. From the collection side it doesn't matter if there's a value between them. The regex is just looking for delimiters and capturing the values (including null) between them.
