Analytics/Archive/Data/Mobile requests stream

From Wikitech
This page contains historical information. It may be outdated or unreliable.

The Mobile requests stream is holding request logs from the mobile caches.

This stream is owned by the Analytics Team.

Contained data

The contained data only covers mobile caches, but that does not mean, that they cover all mobile traffic. For example mobile traffic to upload, bits, or api caches are not covered by this stream.

Availability

stat1002.eqiad.wmnet /a/squid/archive/mobile

The stream is available in Cache log format with a sampling rate of 1:100 as gzipped files at /a/squid/archive/mobile/mobile-sampled-100.tsv.log-*.gz on stat1002.eqiad.wmnet.

The date in the file name does not mean that all logs of that day are in that file. Instead, the files contain logs from ~06:30 of the previous day until to ~06:30 of the day in the file name. So for example /a/squid/archive/mobile/mobile-sampled-100.tsv.log-20130930.gz contains data from ~2013-09-29T06:30.00 until ~2013-09-30T06:30:00.

Events and known problems since 2013-09-01

Date from Date until Bug Details
* Only covers data from mobile caches, not all mobile traffic.
* The stream may suffer from packet drop on udp2log. This should be <5%.
* “zero” markers got set not only for wikipedia, but also for sister projects (wiktionary, ...)
* Lines that would be longer than ~8K get chopped off at that border (no newline gets added). (Affects <1 line/day on average)
* bug 60315 The stream does not contain the SSL requests that come to the SSL terminators, but only forwarded ones from the terminators.
* 2013-09-26 bug 53806 Until around 2013-09-26 ~22:57, the client ip might have been garbled.
2013-09-26 2013-10-01 bug 54779 No “mf-m” markers in stream between 2013-09-26 ~22:44 and 2013-10-01 ~13:33.
2013-11-13 2013-12-16 bug 58764 <40 lines/day have been concatenated due to puppet runs unnecessarily restarting the udp2log filtering. First occurrence on 2013-11-13T17:29:22. Last occurrence on 2013-12-16T17:36:17.

2014-03-21 2014-03-21 bug 62922 Sometimes zero tags are doubled like “zero=250-99;zero=250-99”. The first occurrence is on 2014-03-21T00:16:52. Last occurrence is on 2014-03-21T17:13:22.
2014-04-18 2014-04-22 bug 64145 Requests from cp301[34] are missing. That is ~50% of esams mobile traffic, and ~20% of overall mobile traffic. Missed requests start ~2014-04-18T19:02:16 and stop ~2014-04-22T17:53:09.
2014-05-22 2014-06-24 bug 66833 Zero tags need not have a trailing characters stripped (like “zero=404-01b” instead of “zero=404-01”). Last occurrence is on 2014-06-24T15:24:16.
