AnomieBOT III

Hello, Anomie,

I am trying not to overreact with bots don't publish their reports on schedule so I waited an hour before posting this notice that AnomieBOT III seems to be down. Sometimes the bot is 10 or 15 minutes late with a report but it's been over an hour so it might have to be "restarted". I checked the replag but there is nothing going on in the system and it seems to be an issue with the bot. And it's not Thursday so I'm not sure what is going on! Thanks for any help you provide in helping us address those pesky broken redirects. ;-) Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:56, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping, when I checked the bot's status page it was full of "pod missing", apparently something made most of the jobs exit. Restarted everything now. Anomie⚔ 00:08, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks so much, Anomie! It's much appreciated. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:21, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello, again, Anomie,

It looks like AnomieBOT III has missed two updates now to their Broken Redirect lists. Time for a restart? Thanks for checking on this. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:01, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

According to the bot status page, the bot is updating but nothing appears on Special:Contributions/AnomieBOT III. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:08, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Looks like something is broken in Toolforge, it can't connect to the DB replicas. So BrokenRedirectDeleter, EnDashRedirectCreator, TemplateSubster, and TemplateTalkRedirectCreator are all not working at the moment. Anomie⚔ 01:56, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Filed phab:T331763 about it. Anomie⚔ 02:26, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for filing the ticket. The pages were just updated an hour or so ago so I guess things are back to normal. Thanks for checking on things so quickly. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:54, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, again, Anomie,

Another missed update from AnomieBOT III. It was working so well, maybe it's a system problem. I hope you can check on it and restart your lovely bot. Thanks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:01, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

It says "pod missing" on the bot status page but I don't know what that means. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:03, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, restarted. "Pod missing" means the virtual server ("pod" in Kubernetes) it's supposed to be running on doesn't exist anymore. Anomie⚔ 20:26, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Well, that was quick! Many thanks, Anomie! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:40, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Another missed update. They can't be shutting everything down AGAIN, are they? What's up at WikiMedia HQ? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 16:15, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

They're doing a bunch of different upgrades. Last Monday was moving the NFS file system to a new server, Thursday was updating databases, and today was a new version of Kubernetes. I don't think they have any more scheduled, at least. Anomie⚔ 16:47, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Anomie,

I know that the database or server for s1 was down for 5 days but, supposedly, it got all caught up yesterday. But AnomieBot III isn't issuing its regular reports. I had expected one gigantic report after five days with no broken redirects reported but it was only medium-sized. And then, nothing. Is this an ongoing problem with bots right now? There doesn't seem to be a replag so I'm not sure what the problem is. I tried to get some of this information through Quarry queries but they are not providing much information either. I just anticipated a big backlog and so far, it hasn't appeared. Thanks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:00, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

I see AnomieBOT listed a bunch yesterday at 18:55 that were fixed by the next update. Then a few more after that which again were fixed by the next update. Anomie⚔ 23:22, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Well, it just missed a midday reporting. It is scheduled to report again in about 20 minutes and we'll see what happens. I might have misplaced expectations, I just assumed after 5 days, we'd have a long list of broken redirects. Thanks for the response. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:45, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

It's missed two reports now and hasn't actually produced a list of broken redirects in the past 24 hours. I was looking at Phab and there was some discussion about a problem with "indexes" (see here), I'm not sure what that's about. Other bots whose reports I use are having some issues as well. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:20, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

All I can say is that the bot is running, it's just not finding anything to report. I see it did update Special:Diff/1157991867 on one of those "missed" updates. Anomie⚔ 11:56, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Okay, well I guess that's what it is. I don't have the technical knowledge to speculate on why the reports are briefer than they were in the past. I've noticed that some editors are running queries on Quarry to find some broken redirects so maybe they are just being caught between the times when the report is compiled and issued but I don't think these queries can account for everything. The bot is certainly more thorough and finds broken redirects in every namespace. Thanks for checking into this. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:52, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
