Re: [discovery] Updates to Discovery Dashboards and Metrics

Howdy! Just wanted to let y’all know about some updates to Discovery Dashboards[1]: - All dashboards have been updated to use a new collection of datasets[2] - The Wikipedia.org Portal dashboard[4] now tracks: - Clicks on sister project links (T152617) - Clicks on mobile app links (T154634) - The WDQS dashboard[3] now tracks LDF endpoint usage (T153936) So that’s the front-end news. On the back-end: - We’ve refactored the entire metric-calculation codebase[5] to use Analytics’ Reportupdater infrastructure[6] (T150915) - That codebase is now thoroughly documented[7] - We’ve introduced additional rules for detecting automata to several scripts that calculate traffic and usage metrics - We’ve erased and backfilled all the metrics from 2017-01-01 using all the new definitions and updated UDFs - So if you see drastic changes to a metric starting on 1st January 2017, that’s why :) - Accordingly, all the graphs have been annotated with this info - We are no longer undercounting full-text and geo search API usage (see [8], hence the jump on 2017-01-01) - Adding new metrics and backfilling data is now way easier - We’re already working on adding the ability to look at several search metrics by language and project (T150410) - We can even add predictive models of metrics AS metrics for the codebase to calculate (T112170, [9]) A huge thanks to Deb for her support and patience through this project, and huge thanks to Chelsy for her thorough code review of and help with [10].
