Thanks! :D
The moving average is computed over 17 days. That seems like an arbitrary
choice and it largely is but I played around with that number and 17
yielded what seemed to me the best results. I tried 7 and such and wasn't
satisfied with how those curves looked.

Smooooooooth! It looks great!
Quick question—what's the period of the moving average? Is it a week, or
more? (A week makes sense, but it looks like more, based on how much data
drops out at the beginning.) If it's not a week, can I suggest a week? It
may further smooth out some of the daily bumps to only have one Monday, for
example, in any given average, since the daily pattern is so extreme.

Hi all,
You can now apply various smoothers to the data on the Search Metrics
dashboard (e.g.
http://searchdata.wmflabs.org/metrics/#failure_rate).
Smoothing can be applied globally or on a per-plot basis.
Hopefully yinz will find this new feature useful!
Cheers~
