500276 - Socorro - rescind FF 3.5 throttling change

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[K Lars Lohn [:lars] [:klohn]]

Bug 499972 allowed release candidates that identify themselves as FF3.5 to pass through Socorro at a rate of 100%.  This configuration change must be rescinded before the release of FF3.5.

The timing of taking action must be coordinated with QA and the devs.

This bug should be a blocker on the release of FF3.5.

To accomplish this task:
* in the file collectorconfig.py, delete the line:
  ("Version", "3.5", 100), # pass 100% of Version 3.5
* stop and restart the collectors

reminder - this MUST be done before FF3.5 is released.  If I knew how to make it a blocker for 3.5, I would...

Can we actually scale it back to 50%, instead of the normal 15%, for the first few days? Want to err on the side of over-collecting here.

depending on the uptake of FF35, we may not have the disk space to support setting it to such a high threshold.  Aravind is the best judge of that.

We are throttling it down to 50% per Beltzner's request.  Will crank it down somemore if disk starts disappearing fast.

Beltzner, is it okay to remove the custom rule and throttle things down to 15% like the rest of the releases/versions?

Spoke with Beltzner, removing the custom rule.
