Hello all,
perhaps anybody (someone?) didn't notice it: The msql-db on zedler
(=S2 and
userdatabases) crashed. The restore is in progress,
please wait a
bit.
We get many questions from tool-user "The tool xyz does not work" or
"Why is
the toolserver defect/crashed/explode?".
To inform our tool-user better in future, I created some files:
http://tools.wikimedia.de/status_s1 (same for s2 and s3).
I think that ERRO and DOWN should be compulsive for tools, INFO and
WARN is
optionally.
I plan to update the rules for this at October 1, so please use the
time to
update your tools. Suggestion are of corse very
welcome :).
Sincerly,
DaB.
A small typo in these files... several times it says "planed" such as
"#A Information (like a planed maintaince in far future)."
The correct english word here is "planned"... there is also some a/an
confusion and some other minor typos....
In fact here is the entire
http://tools.wikimedia.de/status_s1 file,
but with my suggested corrections incorporated into it...
# This file shows the status of S1
#
# The format is
# STATUS;Text
#
# Lines with # at the beginning are comments.
#
# The following STATUSes are possible:
#
# OK:
# All Ok, nothing to show.
#
# INFO:
# An Informational message (like a planned maintenance activity in
thefar future).
# Please show the line in your tools as information to give users
notice.
#
# WARN:
# A Warning (like a planned maintenance activity in the near future).
# Please show the line in your tools as information to give users
notice.
#
# ERRO:
# An Error (like a unplanned maintenance activity or some other issue)
# Please show the text instead of your tools
# (or be very sure that your tools do work).
#
# DOWN:
# Like ERRO, but planned.
#
OK;
#EOF
#
Hope that is of some help. I think being able to show canned status
from the system is a nifty idea, thanks for making it happen.
