378237 - breakpad staging deployment for alpha4

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: WebOps: Other, task)

Description

[Robert Sayre]

https://crash-reports.mozilla.com/ is the domain, per bug 378180.

There is an svn tag ready to be pulled at 

http://socorro.googlecode.com/svn/tags/production/a4v1/dist/modpython-collector/

which can be pulled by the command

"svn checkout http://socorro.googlecode.com/svn/tags/production/a4v1/dist/modpython-collector/"

There is a README file located within the checked out directory for mod_python setup. In config.py, the storageRoot variable must be changed to the location where crash dumps are to be stored.

Aravind, can we make the URL to access this CGI https://crash-reports.mozilla.com/submit ?  I think we'd like to reserve the root page of that domain for our reporting tool once we get to that point.

The above url is now live.  You should be able to submit crash reports now.

I would like to put in a cron job that goes in and delete submissions older than a day, is that acceptable to you guys?

Thanks to oremj for his help in configuring this.

At the moment, I don't think we want to clean up any reports on a cron job. We'd like to wait until the processor is ready (this week or early next, hopefully), and then have it process whatever has been collected so far. This will be a pretty small collection of dumps, because it's off by default and users would have to manually enabled the client.

If we get more than a few thousand, we might need to revisit that decision.

The URL coded in the client is https://crash-reports.mozilla.com/submit

The currently implemented server URL is https://crash-reports.mozilla.com/submit/collect.py I have verified that this URL appears to work correctly.

Can we please set up a rewrite rule for the client URL?

Done, /sumit now calls collector.py directly.
