Hi all,
Last year (er, several weeks ago) we decided to set up a dedicated space
for experimental dashboards so that anybody (including members of the
community who want to do new things with existing data) can deploy a
dashboard. The homepage for this space is
http://discovery-experimental.wmflabs.org/
For example, I recently began work on a predictive modeling project with
the goal to forecast usage of our services and detect outliers (e.g. when a
labs bot went haywire on WDQS several weeks ago and we suddenly saw >21mil
SPARQL requests). So I've deployed a prototype dashboard to the
experimental space so it doesn't mess up our existing dashboards:
http://discovery-experimental.wmflabs.org/forecast/ (Currently it only
forecasts Cirrus API usage, but more will be added soon.)
To add your Shiny-powered dashboard, you need to add it as a submodule to
the wikimedia/discovery/experimental repository on gerrit
<https://git.wikimedia.org/summary/?r=wikimedia/discovery/experimental.git>.
Instructions for doing this can be found on this README
<https://github.com/wikimedia/wikimedia-discovery-experimental/blob/master/README.md#dashboards-as-submodules>
With warm regards,
Mikhail Popov on behalf of Discovery's Analysts
