[Labs-l] labs questions!

[Silke Meyer]

Hello everybody!

To bring some light into the darkness, it would be great, if you could
give me some answers. I would like to know:

* how to make two labs instances talk to each other on the level of the
mysql database. I created a security group for this that permits mysql
connections on port 3306 inside labs, added two servers (Wikidata repo
and client with the client configured to look for the "internal" IP of
the repo). But the client doesn't see the repo yet. What else would I
have to configure?

* how to configure Nagios in labs. I tried to add a file to
/etc/nagios/nrpe.d/blah.cfg and use a plugin but nothing more than the
default appears on the nagios.wmflabs.org page of my hostgroup/labs
instance. Is there any documentation about this? Where? How are users
supposed to use it? Do I have to ping anyone to restart the Nagios
server on each modification I make?

* if the customized Debian packages are documented anywhere. The puppet
way of installing mediawiki installs a package called
wikimedia-task-appserver for example. Where can I find out what packages
like that one contain?

Any hints / links to documentation are greatly appreciated!
Best,
Silke
