[eclipse.org-committers] Eclipse.org infrastructure update
|
Greetings committers,
I hope you all had a nice holiday. In this issue:
1. Bugzilla charts and graphs
2. Bugzilla Time Tracking tools
3. Bugzilla performance improvements
4. IPZilla improvements
5. Eclipse.org performance: new server, more bandwidth
6. Downloads disk quotas
7. 2007: committers first
1. Bugzilla charts and graphs
=============================
Thanks to our server upgrades in December, Matt has managed to get
Bugzilla charts working. See pretty bar graphs, line graphs and pie
charts here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/report.cgi
2. Bugzilla Time Tracking tools
===============================
Did you know Bugzilla has Time tracking tools? The TPTP project uses
this feature, and I though perhaps other projects would like to use it
as well. More information can be found here:
http://www.bugzilla.org/features/#tt
Project leads, please let us know if you want us to enable the feature
for your project.
3. Bugzilla performance improvements
====================================
Since December, both our database servers have been running like
clockwork, and Bugzilla performance has been much, much better. Markus,
Daniel and Philippe haven't e-mailed us once to say that Bugzilla is
slow. We regularly dance in our office to celebrate the victory.
4. IPZilla improvements
=======================
IPZilla has been quite successful so far, and many improvements are
planned for this quarter. This Bugzilla query will show you what's in
the queue:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&classification=Eclipse+Foundation&product=Community&component=IPZilla&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED
If you have any suggestions for IPZilla, please feel free to open bugs
against Community/IPZilla.
5. Eclipse.org performance: new server, more bandwidth
======================================================
We've recently added a fifth front-end server to help with the
eclipse.org load. This HP Itanium2 server is identical to the other four
nodes that are also in service. This server will bring overall load
down, and will help cope with added load when you all log in and check
your bugs in the morning.
Also, we've added an extra 10 Mbps of permanent bandwidth, bringing our
total bandwidth to 70 Mbps.
We've been examining many of our server processes and scripts and we've
found lots of room for improvement. We're actively re-writing and
tweaking our setup to minimize server load, which in turn helps performance.
6. Downloads disk quotas
========================
We believe the disk quotas are responsible for the outage we had on
January 8 (as was the case for the last outage, March 31 2006) so we
have discontinued using them forever. We will be monitoring disk space
usage for download.eclipse.org some other way.
On a positive note, the huge download disk space cleanup that we did in
December was immensely successful, as our tape backup system is no
longer maxed out. Thanks to everyone who invests efforts in keeping
their downloads area clean.
7. 2007: Committers first
=========================
The Eclipse Foundation's IT focus for 2007 hasn't changed from past
years: we're putting committers first. If you are unable to work
efficiently, then fixing that becomes our #1 priority. We want to do
everything we can to ensure the Eclipse IT infrastructure is stable,
fast and secure so you can get your work done.
Feel free to e-mail us at webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx if you have any
questions, comments, concerns or problems. We're here to help.
Denis, Matt and Karl.
