Accessing analytics-store from stat1002 (instead of stat1003)

It's not a huge problem for myself right now, but I noticed that the following instructions doesn't work on stat1002 (for stat1003, they are fine):

you'd SSH into stat1003 or stat1002, and then type:

mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/conf.d/research-client.cnf -h analytics-store.eqiad.wmnet -A

On stat1002, this gives the following error

Could not open required defaults file: /etc/mysql/conf.d/research-client.cnf

I guess that's because that file has permissions set to root and the root group only (on stat1003, the "researchers" user group has read access to it).

Question about a document linked

@Elukey: Under the Shell access section, there is a link to a Google document with content related to Production access (link). Is that still a valid document? It looks like it has some lower quality edits in it, to put it mildly.:) I'd appreciate if you look into it.--Leila (talk) 17:01, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

I don't think so! Let's remove it :)

• @Leila, Elukey: ah, sorry about that! Someone had pointed it out to me previously and I had promised to fix it, but I never did. I just removed it now.—Neil P. Quinn-WMF (talk) 14:56, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
