I’m not totally sure.  statsd doesn’t actually store anything; these metrics are saved by graphite.  We may have to manually purge them.  I’d open a Phab ticket, CC me, and tag Operations.

Hullo,

How do we go about purging data from statsd? We recently stopped incrementing a handful of keys (see below) that we haven't used in quite some time and would like to tidy up after ourselves.

Thanks,

Hullo,

Some time ago, the Reading Web team noticed that the Special:MobileOptions page is instrumented in two distinct ways: using EventLogging and wfIncrStats. We had a little spare bandwidth this sprint and got around to removing the wfIncrStats-based logging from Special:MobileOptions.

As of today's deploy, we won't be incrementing the following keys in statsd:
  • mobile.options.views
  • mobile.options.errors
  • mobile.options.saves
We'll be looking into and documenting other wfIncrStats-based logging in the MobileFrontend codebase soon.

Thanks!

-Sam
