openSUSE admin

how much extra RAM you need?

Presumably the OBS team has more insight into what they need. I don't really want to know why we need three databases + a key value store.

Ah, I see the subject said "influxdb plugins", but still curious. The rails stuff sounds like for writing to influxdb from rails which would need to be installed with the rails application not influxdb? The others seem similar as presumably you want to write metrics about those services to influxdb. As such are you looking to have remote write access to influxdb or what?

Right, I mixed that up previously. So we would like to collect additional data via this plugin and wanted to ask for allowance from anyone who is involved in this machine / setup.

AFAIK for the using the plugins we would just need to have a port open (maybe some influxdb configuration is needed as well?). Eduardo is looking into that.

And like Jimmy mentioned a ram update if that is needed.

as discussed with Eduardo and henne on IRC, it makes sense to move metrics to the same VLAN that the rest of the OBS infrastructure is, so that we don't have to bridge the two vlans. I'd prefer to do the move back together with Jimmy online one afternoon. The problem is that I'll be on offsite next week. I'll try to do it Monday or Tuesday, but I can't promise it sorry

As discussed in #opensuse-admin metrics.o.o needs access to pontifex access logs in one form or another. They were originally synced to langley.suse.de which would work, but has same tunnel issue. Alternatively, influxdb could be exposed publicly if properly configured for authentication.

Presumably, if you were going to write to influxdb it would need to be exposed inside the network and authentication setup so realistically nothing changes from OBS perspective except the URL to the db.

is there anything left for me? should I close the ticket or assign it to someone else?
