User:Tim~labswiki/Switching log server
Appearance
To change the MW log server:
- In CommonSettings.php, edit $wmfUdp2logDest. Sync that out.
- Touch InitialiseSettings.php and sync that out since $wmfUdp2logDest is implemented in a very special way and doesn't cooperate with the conf cache.
- In wmerrors.ini in puppet, edit wmerrors.log_file. Deploy it. I already added a notify metaparameter so it should just start working. If it doesn't, apache needs to be restarted.
- Confirm $wmfUdp2logDest is working by tailing xff.log. Confirm wmerrors.ini is working by requesting /w/fatal-ifjwghy9ibag.php with curl and checking fatal.log.
Before deleting the /a partition from fluorine, please save the following files:
- /a/mw-log/*.log
- /a/mw-log/archive/*-20120816*
- /a/mw-log/archive/*-20120817*
The other files are copies and don't need to be saved.
