Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: CIDuty, task)

Description

[Hal Wine [:hwine] use NI!]

We learned a lot, and are already reusing some code in other projects, but there are is no one to carry on with this project. Let's give it the clean shutdown it deserves!

This bug depends on all the open briarpatch bugs I could find. Add/open any others that are needed.

Monitoring was never implemented (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775285). You shouldn't trigger anything bad if you shut off the boxes. At worst, supervisord might try to keep a proc alive or puppet might rewrite some files you've just deleted.

This was a joint goal with IT and Webdev, I don't feel a joint decision has been made to kill it...  I'd rather not give up on this just yet, especially given the discussion we just had on Tuesday about resourcing releng needs for the future.  This dashboard would help with capacity planning, and from our point of view is still desperately needed.

My apologies - I thought it was only a webdev-releng project. I fully agree that a dashboard is needed. I'll hold off and reach out to you via email

Per bug 807812, we should think about moving these machines out of private.scl3 if we do decide to keep 'em, or keep the service.
