Hello all,
This message is for those of you who do deployments to the WMF cluster.
On the [[How to deploy code]] wikitech page, there is a section on
Testing your live code:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/How_to_deploy_code#Test_your_code_live
That's a pretty basic overview of it and it could be greatly improved
with information like:
* How to monitor specific parts of the cluster that are relevant to what
you deployed
* What general monitoring should be looked at after you deploy
I know many of you already do much of this after you deploy, but the
lack of documentation on *how* to do it was a recurring theme in the
initial interviews I did with engineering teams when I first started.

== "The Ask" ==
I'm asking you ("you" being those of you who have experience doing
post-deploy monitoring) to please add more documentation to this section
of the How to deploy code page:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/How_to_deploy_code#Test_your_code_live
I expect people from both engineering and ops will have feedback here.
Also, those of you who don't know how to monitor/log things post deploy
but you have specific questions, please ask here so that someone who
does know can answer on the wiki.
Thanks,
Greg
