[Labs-l] tools labs bot hammering Gerrit

[Antoine Musso]

Hello,

Yesterday evening (europe time), the tools exec nodes have been
blacklisted from Gerrit.   Some user/bot was hammering the Gerrit server
which slowed it down.

An example node is tools-exec-03.eqiad.wmflabs

Due to the nature of tools labs, it is a bit hard to figure out which
bot was causing the issue.  The user agent was not meaningful.


If anyone had a script/bot querying Gerrit please get in touch so we can
help fix your script!

Meanwhile all tools labs nodes are blocked on Gerrit via an iptables rule.

You can contact hashar, _joe_ (both Europe based) or ^d (SF based) on
IRC.  Or reply there.

cheers,
