Graphite

  • PHP Profiling
  • Server / Machine stats
  • JobQueue / JobRunner
  • ResourceLoader
  • Gerrit
  • EventLogging
  • etc...
  • Simple metrics... Just numbers
  • Added to using statsd
  • Normally retained for 1 year
  • Resolution decreases with time
  • 1m:7d,5m:14d,15m:30d,1h:1y
echo "metricname:10|c" | nc -w 1 -u statsd.eqiad.wmnet 8125
$statsd = RequestContext::getMain()->getStats();

$service->timing('usageTime', 100);
$service->increment('visitor');
$service->decrement('click');
$service->gauge('gaugor', 333);
$service->set('uniques', 765);

Graphite

statsd

Supports

  • Counting
  • Sampling
  • Timing
  • Gauges
  • Sets

 

See: github.com/etsy/statsd/blob/master/docs/metric_types.md

Graphite

api

  • target - match 1 or more metrics
    • jobrunner.pop.wikibase-addUsagesForPage.ok.*.count

 

  • from/until - specify a time scale (relative or absolute)
    • from=-8d until=-7d

 

  • format - specify a format!
    • raw / csv / json

 

Other graphy stuff too.... (width etc)

Hadoop, Hive & Kafka

  • Kafka gets sent all of the logs (Distributed logging buffer)

 

  • Hadoop processes and stores much data (all of the logs).
    • Also has a scratch space!
    • Stores data for roughly 1 month

 

  • Hive lets you query all of the things!

access from stat1002

What is stored?

  • Webrequests (raw & refined)
  • Pageviews
  • Projectviews
  • pagecounts_all_sites
  • mediacounts

Web request fields

Sample query

SELECT
  count(*) as count, user_agent
FROM
  webrequest
WHERE
  year = 2015
  AND month = 10
  AND day = 12
  AND hour = 1
  AND uri_host = "www.wikidata.org"
  AND http_status = 200
  AND http_method = "GET"
  AND uri_path LIKE "/wiki/Special:EntityData%"
GROUP BY user_agent
ORDER BY count
LIMIT 999999;

See how many times each user agent accesses Special:EntityData and subpages in a given hour

More data!

Structured api logging soon
