Hi,

I am having problems with the Wikidata Query Service. Sometimes I just get an black page at other time I get an interface but without a responsive edit field and the message "Data last updated: [connecting]" on the green status field. The issue has been going on for some days now.

I know there has been recent instabilities, cf. https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2016-May/008674.html , but https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134238 'Query service fails with "Too many open files"' should be resolved as of 9 May. A new one https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T133026 "WDQS GUI caching" is AFAIU unresolved. It seems my problem could be related to caching, but full page reload (Ctrl F5) does not always work.

Interestingly, one of my computers has the problem while another does not.

I look on Grafana and see that one of the servers has somewhat of a high load https://grafana.wikimedia.org/dashboard/db/wikidata-query-service

I see nothing unusual here: https://searchdata.wmflabs.org/wdqs/

Is there anything we mere mortals can do about such issues? Is it a Phabricator issue? Perhaps my IP has just be throttled? :)

best Finn
