- store the results in mysql on the same server that holds the wiki db
(analytics-store.eqiad.wmnet)
If you're using the "research" user, it can write to the database called
"staging" on analytics-store. So just go ahead and do that right now, but
caveat below
- store them in mysql locally, on the limn1 instance
We don't really want to mix purposes for the limn1 server (or future
dashboarding servers). Though I'm a little concerned now that limn1 seems
to have access to analytics-store. This should not be the case as that
would violate the private / public barrier. The mobile web team has solved
this problem with this project:
https://git.wikimedia.org/tree/analytics%2Flimn-mobile-data. If you're
using cron on limn1 to fetch data from analytics-store, that should not be
allowed. Let's continue the conversation if that's the case.
Thanks,
Dan
