Do I need to restore old CI logs, or start with new logs. 18:10:37 there will be a meetup of infra/qa folks in which various items will be discussed 18:10:46 including third party matters 18:10:52 can third-party members participate? 18:10:59 trinaths: we have an agenda: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/ThirdParty#Agenda_for_next_meeting 18:11:04 please follow along 18:11:14 bookwar: I was expecting that question 18:11:38 this meeting is for people who have a commitment to becomeing core contributors to infra and/or qa 18:12:18 if anyone is willing to commit to learning and reliably performing at least 30 reviews/per month to start (that is not enough for core) 18:12:33 in any of the infra/qa repos that person can request to attend 18:12:58 if you are expecting this will be a place to ask questions to get your system running, the answer is no, this is not that place 18:13:12 actually this meeting is that place 18:13:26 once we get folks trusting the agenda format and using it 18:13:30 bookwar: make sense? 18:13:41 anteaya: yes, thanks for clarifying 18:13:44 great 18:13:59 #link Documentation: http://ci.openstack.org/third_party.html 18:14:09 please read that, there are some changes this week 18:14:18 be sure to share that around 18:14:31 also 18:14:35 #link How To Ask Questions The Smart Way: http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html 18:14:41 this is an invaluable resource 18:14:51 and one that i will be pointing to frequently 18:15:04 please read it if you haven't and share with others 18:15:10 any other announcements? 18:15:29 #topic OpenStack Program items 18:15:37 david-lyle: you're up 18:15:48 thank anteaya 18:16:24 So the main question I have is what are the requirements for third parties to provide infrastructure to test against outside of CI 18:17:10 david-lyle: are any of your concerns answered here? http://ci.openstack.org/third_party.html#requirements 18:17:11 in Horizon we get numerous patches that want to target say a 3rd party device in neutron, but have no means to actually exercise the code other than through unit tests 18:17:29 can you give me a forinstance? 18:17:35 like a url for a patch? 18:18:36 this outdated, but Horizon in the H cycle added support for managing a cisco router, unfortunately there is not test environment to verify the running code 18:18:46 hmmmm 18:18:49 "support recheck" is not an easy feature to implement 18:18:57 so we have fair chunk of code that we can't validate 18:18:59 bookwar: this is david-lyle's time 18:19:11 david-lyle: yes I am beginning to see 18:19:36 I question that horizon should add support for a propietary service in the first place 18:19:45 there are requests for more code along those lines, but without a requirement for an environment where we can validate, I am very uneasy to add support 18:19:49 anteaya: that too 18:19:51 david-lyle, is this for supporting that third party functionality? else it shouldn't be part of horizon 18:20:43 david-lyle, that would be up to the third party implementors to test and report, horizon will have to come up with how it will require testing on this code 18:20:51 david-lyle: I'm feeling this question needs to find it's way onto the tc agenda 18:20:52 so several services expose driver support and include code for it, correct? then isn't it reasonable to support those same drivers in Horizon 18:21:01 similar to what Nova has done for instance 18:21:15 david-lyle: that is a question I can't answer 18:21:19 since I have no authority 18:21:25 but it is a good question 18:21:29 it is 18:21:33 davidlenwell: there is a cisco CI for neutron. Maybe a horizon CI can be run against the same lab config. I will ask them. 18:21:44 HenryG: ? 18:21:59 but that is one specific example, not general case 18:22:28 Ideally, I want to be able to try the code on a live environment before merging 18:22:33 david-lyle: I enourage the process for discussing it with the tc, to discuss the scope of horizon regarding third-party 18:23:19 david-lyle: if the tc feels horizon should be including support for third-party services then the testing conversation can come from that 18:23:35 and yes, I agree you should be able to test what you are including in master 18:23:39 anteaya: I'm heading that way. I just wanted to raise the issue that CI support isn't necessarily enough 18:24:09 david-lyle: yes we have to have the understanding of how it affects other projects 18:24:24 and I am glad I have a better understanding of how it affects horizon now 18:24:40 my recommendation for Horizon at the summit was that there needed to be an environment we could exercise the Horizon code against before integrating it 18:24:51 I like that 18:25:06 after the tc chat put an item on the infra meeting agenda 18:25:09 just wanted to make sure that wasn't completely against the other assorted edicts in openstack 18:25:15 so we can discuss how to create that support 18:25:17 anteaya: will do 18:25:21 * anteaya nods 18:25:24 thanks david-lyle 18:25:27 and thanks for the time 18:25:31 np 18:25:43 next topic 18:25:49 #topic Deadlines & Deprecations 18:26:02 anyone have any deadlines or deprecations they want to announce? 18:26:20 no? 18:26:22 okay 18:26:27 #topic Highlighting a Program or Gerrit Account 18:26:44 okay today we are going to look at two maintainers 18:26:52 Hi, i'm there with freescale-ci 18:26:57 Longgeek: who mantains thstack-ci 18:26:59 and trinaths 18:27:00 yes 18:27:05 great 18:27:07 Longgeek: Hi 18:27:18 trinaths: hi 18:27:25 so some of the things you are doing well is you are both on irc and you are talking in channels which is good 18:27:52 anteaya: ok 18:27:59 anteaya: :-) 18:28:02 and I bring you to the attention of others so that as I address some of your concerns, and mine that others can read the logs and learn 18:28:07 so for starters 18:28:19 About our account have any questions? 18:28:27 Longgeek: I'm speaking 18:28:36 ok 18:28:52 everyone knows the logs are here: #link http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/ 18:28:55 correct 18:29:02 yes 18:29:20 and everyone reads the meeting logs and -infra and -qa and the project you are testing on a daily basis, correct? 18:29:22 yes 18:29:26 great 18:29:42 so one of the things I want to start with 18:30:00 when something goes wrong, don't start by assuming that our system is the problem 18:30:14 which is covered in how to ask smart questions, linked above 18:30:17 as an example 18:30:50 This is, I need to learn. 18:30:51 anyone who wants to look at the infra logs for the weekend will see Longgeek spent a considerable about of time trying to get a patch in dealing with min.js 18:31:00 after many hours and much time 18:31:13 he found out his https proxy wasn't working properly 18:31:14 anteaya, :) 18:31:39 he found that out by pasting the output of the error for jheseth to view 18:31:53 and jheseth gave him a suggestion 18:32:03 yes, The https proxy problem 18:32:11 which helped him to conclude that his error lay within his own environment 18:32:13 so 18:32:17 let's help each other 18:32:37 if you have a problem, first evaluate your local environment 18:32:44 Longgeek you know trinaths now 18:32:44 yes. 18:32:51 so you can help each other 18:32:59 paste, using paste.openstack.org 18:33:10 the command and output and share it with each other 18:33:16 bruff: you can help in this too 18:33:19 ok, paste.openstack.org. 18:33:19 anteaya: yes.. 18:33:47 anteaya: Longgeek, helped me with Zuul troubleshooting 18:33:47 if you all have the same output then it isn't a local issue, and then you can ask in -infra what someone can see when the view the paste 18:34:12 please don't go straight to filing bugs and offering patches, that wastes our time in -infra 18:34:16 make sense? 18:34:24 bruff: you can help here, yes? 18:34:40 OK, I understand. 18:34:46 great 18:34:56 now Longgeek 18:35:08 there are some questions about your account 18:35:27 the people involved with the projects you are testing don't know what you are doing 18:35:47 so it is helpful if, before you test a project, you talk to the people involved with the project 18:35:57 and if you don't know who they are, ask 18:36:01 I test my present work system stability. 18:36:27 ok. 18:36:46 here is the list of openstack projects and their governing programs: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/governance/tree/reference/programs.yaml 18:36:52 please refer to that list 18:37:20 I'll look at it 18:37:29 now, right now Longgeek's system is posting 2 comments per patchset and third-party ci is only allowed one comment per patchset 18:37:43 anyone able to help Longgeek fix his system? 18:38:03 <[1]trinaths> Just got diconnected.. 18:38:22 is anyone able to help Longgeek? 18:38:53 zuul event? 18:39:11 you can't have your systems post the comment "starting tests" 18:39:24 can anyone help Longgeek turn that comment off? 18:39:45 Like this? Starting gate jobs. http://status.openstack.org/zuul/ 18:39:58 right you can't have that comment 18:40:04 that is noise 18:40:20 third-party ci systems can't post that comment 18:40:32 okay let's move to trinaths, who has some issues 18:40:35 Well, I'll try to locate it, and close 18:40:41 he is having difficulty will logs 18:41:07 his first server was hacked and he has now moved to a public server which gives a malware warning 18:41:30 anteaya: I may leave the chat at any time.. Since, we are experiencing a cyclone here and can be a power shutdown to the colony,.. 18:41:30 anyone have any suggestions for trinaths and securely serving his logs? 18:41:40 trinaths: okay you can read the logs 18:41:45 anteaya: I went for godaddy hosting 18:41:49 now 18:42:03 does anyone have any suggestions for helping trinaths? 18:42:09 the logs are available at fslopenstackci.com 18:42:26 I've verifed the new log location for trinaths doesn't trigger Cisco WSA alarms anymore. 18:42:28 I'll let you know now, these meetings are going to be painfully slow if folks are not willing to help each other 18:42:35 mestery: great thank you 18:42:50 trinaths: good work, we may have solved that issue 18:42:53 anteaya: I think trinaths issue is solved now regarding logging from my perspective. 18:43:00 mestery: great thanks 18:43:05 anteaya: thank you too! 18:43:13 mestery: thanks a lot.. 18:43:17 those were the main issues I had 18:43:27 please read how to ask smart questions 18:43:35 there is a lot of good information in there 18:43:47 Longgeek trinaths anything else from you? 18:44:02 mestery: were there any other issues I need to address regarding CI? 18:44:12 trinaths: Not from my perspective, no. 18:44:34 mestery: okay.. thank you 18:44:38 okay going to move topics 18:44:44 #topic Open Discussion 18:44:52 anyone have anything for open discussion? 18:44:55 anteaya: There is nothing for the time being! :) 18:45:12 Longgeek: okay thanks, we still need to talk before you turn your system back on 18:45:22 anteaya: doubt 18:45:48 trinaths: if that means you have a question, do ask your question 18:46:08 anteaya: Since, I moved to a new Log repository, do I need to hold the old logs present in my old server ? 18:46:25 you need the old logs present on your new server 18:46:48 anteaya: okay. thanks 18:46:49 logs from yesterday need to be accessed reliable and without triggering malware warnings 18:46:58 bookwar: did you have anything? 18:47:49 bruff: was there something you wanted to say? 18:48:07 anteaya: okay.. 18:48:09 No I did add to the etherpad 18:48:22 bruff: what etherpad? 18:49:15 linked earlier in the meeting 18:49:20 .. 18:49:27 #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/polished-third-party-goals 18:49:34 what do you want to know? 18:49:42 can you expand on what you are looking for? 18:50:02 I think the level of detail you are asking for is a little specific for overall goals 18:50:10 and is better as an agenda item 18:50:11 suggestion to have projects document common information around what their CI 3rd party requirements are 18:50:32 in addition to getting started process 18:50:36 third-party requirements are here: http://ci.openstack.org/third_party.html#requirements 18:50:50 bruff: what are you looking for in addition to that? 18:51:35 It seems like the scale of testing will vary by the project you are committing to right? 18:51:41 exactly right 18:52:17 nova will be the project with the greatest throughput 18:52:31 So in the getting started section might be useful for each project to provide some info around these differences, by project 18:52:31 bruff: what project do you want to test? 18:52:49 For my specific group it is a cinder driver 18:52:56 bruff: that would be difficult since there are so many projects 18:53:16 okay, well I think time is better spent ensuring you have good contact with the cinder folks 18:53:25 do you spend time in their channel? 18:53:52 and read the cinder channel and meeting logs? 18:54:01 Oh, yes but as you try to get your head around the 3rd party CI testing you go to those webpages as well 18:54:23 yes, that is what they are meant for 18:54:36 what stage are you at right now, with setting up your testing? 18:54:50 so providing some of this common documentation (or a set of common questions that the project leads could answer is useful 18:55:15 we are working on that, but since we are standardizing across all systems taht will take some time 18:55:22 right now, what do you need to know? 18:55:49 no question currently 18:55:52 maybe certain stat about commits per day, it allows you to plan your infrastructure loads 18:56:07 okay, if you do have a question bruff do you feel you know where to ask it? 18:56:39 Yes this type of thing, I'm trying to get through our GIT process so we can get going 18:56:58 bookwar: do you look at the graphs at the bottom of: http://status.openstack.org/zuul/ 18:57:14 bruff: what do you mean get through your git process? 18:57:46 OK good to know, but if you don't have a handle on CI stuff yet it isn't clear where you can get this info to start with. 18:58:13 bruff: right, which is why we set up these meetings 18:58:19 with open discussion 18:58:51 Right? So as a general question/info knowing about scaling this will be a common question and you might be able to provide pointers for this as the wiki develops 18:58:51 bookwar: https://github.com/openstack/openstack/graphs/commit-activity 18:59:06 bruff, for cinder ci setup, you can also chat int he #openstack-cinder channel. many of use are getting 3rd party ci setup 18:59:16 thanks asselin_ 18:59:32 Yes, agreed 18:59:48 we are at time 18:59:54 thanks for a great meeting everyone 18:59:57 read the logs 19:00:01 see you next week 19:00:05 #endmeeting
