I see they are running again as of a couple of days ago. Thank you. I've also seen some threads talking about larger, upcoming changes to the traffic statistics data. Looks interesting. Please let me know if I can help. Personally, I'm drifting towards investigations on how to enhance story idea generators with structured knowledgebases. Like, given a couple of random Wikipedia articles and a story theme from TVTropes, search through the type hierarchies and properties and dependencies of those articles to find an interesting way to stitch them together within the constraints of the randomly chosen story theme or setting.

It appears the monthly compressed traffic file generation has stopped again. It looks like the daily compressed files stopped generating on May 9th. Can we restart this process? I haven't looked at the hourly files recently. Perhaps there was another format change that caused it to crash.

Michael, a quick heads-up: So I finally found the time to look into this.Sorry that it took so long.https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90230Bug has been analyzed and fixed. The underlying problem is a record in an hourly pageview dump with empty title. My script now patches such records with title '-no-title-'.I filed a separate bug for that: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90629 Daily aggregation has been restarted and successfully processed data for Jan 27. Now it will take a day or two to catch up.

Subject: RE: [Analytics] Monthly compressed traffic delay Hi Michael, Thanks for your offer, I appreciate it.I've been quite busy in recent weeks , but haven't forgotten abouth these compressed dumps, and will look into it soon (less than a week). Cheers,Erik From: analytics-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:analytics-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Michael Hale Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2015 15:24 To: analytics@lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [Analytics] Monthly compressed traffic delay Hello,
I'm inquiring about the delay for publishing the January compressed Wikistats files that are maintained by Erik Zachte. I'm guessing those processes are given a low priority compared to the content backups that need to run. More generally, I'm interested in finding new ways that I can help out. I'm an ex-Microsoftie who is now on the fraud analytics team at TD Bank. I've been involved with the Wikimedia group in Atlanta. I organize the picnic each summer, and helped get the rest of the historic buildings photographed. I've dabbled in reverting vandalism, and I contribute to articles when I actually have something to contribute. I don't feel like I've settled into a contributor role that really fits me yet though.
I enjoy using a variety of the traffic data sets that Wikimedia publishes. It seems the traffic servers get bogged down sometimes though. Can I help? Should I try to get the Atlanta group to pool our donations this year for an extra computer?
