Change Details

We need all mediawiki cron jobs to: * append in a log file under `/var/log/mediawiki` * have logrotation * run cronjobs only in the datacentre where mediawiki is active Right now we have them writing log files, where we only keep logs from their last run. --- current plan: 1) [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/operations/puppet/+/482790/ | introduce systemd::timer::job ]] 2) [[https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/operations/puppet/+/482792/ | introduce profile::mediawiki::periodic_job]] 2.1) 2) uses 1) and a cli wrapper to get the active DC value from conftool locally on disk from the yaml file and uses that to decide whether a "periodic job" should run or not 3) [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/operations/puppet/+/482793/ | first example to convert a cronjob to the new code ]] 4) do the same for all other crons
