617016 - Need canonical source of master information

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Chris AtLee [:catlee]]

Various tools need to know what masters exist, and how to operate with them.

We need at least this information about each master:
- hostname
- http port
- pb port
- ssh port
- db name (how it identifies itself in claimed_by_name)
- role(s) (e.g. does it do builds, tests, scheduling)
- what directories do buildbotcustom, buildbot-configs live in
- what directory does the master live in
- datacentre

From IRC, we could start out making some JSON files available at a well-determined location, and then flesh that out to a web-app if required.

Sample JSON format at http://people.mozilla.org/~catlee/production-masters.json

production-masters.json has been in use for a long time now.
