Dashboards can only be created o production data,
From product we are constantly encouraged to be data-driven ("measure
twice, implement once"). When I read that we need to be in production to get metrics, it feels like a circular dependency: Product wants us to have numbers that justify the move to production, but Analytics tells us that we need to be in production to get those numbers. I think it is worth opening a conversation in the Product list to clarify their expectations.
My experience with the Multimedia team was that having the ability to visualise metrics and check how those were affected by changes in the product has been really useful, and we only wish we could have had such metrics available from day one. In addition, Content Translation is being used in beta for real work by some users, and we are already missing information on how they are doing so. So any idea on how can get and make sense of some of this information (apart from manual collection) would be appreciated (maybe get the data in a way we could use some quick d3-based tool http://code.shutterstock.com/rickshaw/?).
Thanks

Dashboards can only be created o production data, Joel. We might blow up data in beta environment database to test something else so there is no guaranteed availability there. It is purely a testing environment.
Makes sense I suppose, but if the data in beta is unstable there doesn’t seem much point in doing any of this there, beyond confirming that we are sending valid events, which has already been done. I guess we will just have to wait until we go to production to set things up. It would be nice if we had a real beta environment we could use for beta testing, but that’s a larger issue.

Hi all,
I wanted to check in on this and confirm where things are at. As far as I understand, the outstanding issues for beta are:
- We still need to verify that events sent from Content Translation are
being collected in beta. The analytics team is looking into the issues in beta and Nuria has created a bug https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73388 in bugzilla to track any related work.
- Sometime after Dan gets back from vacation, he and Joel will need to
work together to set up a basic dashboard based on Dan's instructions https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Dashboards. Timing is dependent on 1. @Dan, let me know what works best for you and how I can best help.
Since event logging in beta and production appear to be separate, I was wondering if it would be possible to set up separate dashboards for beta and production. That would be very useful for us because it would allow us to track the usage of languages we release to beta and then use that data to prioritize the languages we release to production.
Thanks,
Joel

There is a bug logged for the situation of beta and EL, can we please link any commits to this bug? https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73388
Also, one thing is the setup of the varnish environment and other the setup of the eventlogging machine that has not received new code for quite a while, so I think we have more than one problem here.

I see, I was hoping to set aside the beta issues but if you are not deploying to prod any time soon I guess we will need to troubleshoot there. By the looks of it EL has not worked in beta since august, but, as I said before, I know very little about how beta is put together.
I have filed a bug to regarding the beta issue: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73388

Hi Nuria,
Please let me know if there is any way I can help out or if there is
anything you need from our end. When you have deployed your newest code to production, let's check whether events appear on the production stream. Let us know when deployment is done and you think your code should be logging.
Our code is not scheduled to be released to production until January. Getting the metrics is partly to help us ensure and promote that release. We will keep you informed as our plans progress, but hopefully we can figure out what the issue is in beta soon.
To confirm: You have seen proper logging from your events in vagrant, right?
The output I am seeing with vagrant is what I pasted to this thread earlier. It does not contain the url-encoded section or the user agent information as we discussed before. I think that is an issue with my dev environment, however, and not a problem with the code. The same code appears to be sending valid events in beta. The http request I sent to your email earlier is what we are seeing there. It seems to include all the information you said it should include.
If you want to debug what is happening in beta yourself, an easy way I found to do that is:
- Go to our Content Translation translation view
http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation?page=Han+Feizi&from=es&to=ca&targettitle=Han+Feizi page in beta (you will need to create an account and sign in) 2. Open chrome dev tools, 3. Click the add translation links that appear in the middle column to add a few machine translated paragraphs to the editor 4. Click on the publish button in the header to publish the translation to your user namespace (triggers EL event) 5. Look at the network pane in chrome dev tools and find the entry with the event logging url (it should be near the bottom). 6. Click on the entry to see all the request and response information.
You probably already know all this, but I thought I would pass it along just in case it helps.
Di you setup a sampling rate or code is logging 1 to 1?
No sample rate. Just logging 1 to 1.
On our end we will work to troubleshoot the beta EL infrastructure, I am not familiar with it and neither is anyone on our team but we will ask around.
Yeah, Dan said you all kind of inherited EL so that’s totally understandable. We appreciate you looking into this for us. Let us know how else we can help.

Hello,
Taking last statement back, asked Yuvi and beta does have a varnish instance so the flow of EL events "should" be the same one that production.
Now I looked on deployment-eventlogging02, which is the EL machine for labs and the last events I see there are from Aug 22.
So no events have come in as of late, which could point to an issue on the setup. I will look into it some more.
Thanks,
Nuria
