Agenda

• scl3 <-> usw2 link - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=975438
• Bug 971861 - slaveapi's shutdown_buildslave action doesn't cope well with a machine that isn't connected to buildbot
  • required manual reboots due to this bug
• Check the list of disabled slaves at the bottom of slave health - sometimes they have been on loan for a long time and/or forgotten about
• doesn't require a meeting: I am seeing infra folks changing out component in loaning access bugs:
  • Component: Infrastructure: OpenVPN → Mozilla VPN: ACL requests; Assignee: infra@infra-ops.bugs → vpn-acl@infra-ops.bugs
  • should we be using this component from now on and if so, update our docs (bug create templates)?
  • eg: https://bugzil.la/981074
• I don't need to bring this up in mtg if you agree with solution, have an alternative, or if you show me why I am wrong: ec2 loans are hard to catch when the loanee is finished. This is because:
  • we don't have a tracking bugs for ec2 loan created instances (so we don't mark tracking bugs being blocked by loan bug and it doesn't show in buildduty report)
  • we mark the loan bug as resolved and keep the assignee assigned (loanee)
    • which makes it hidden from our loan tracking lists
      • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem&remaction=run&namedcmd=releng-loan-requests-triage&sharer_id=30066&list_id=9659355
      • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem&remaction=run&namedcmd=releng-loan-requests&sharer_id=30066&list_id=9659364
      • NOTE: nagios looks at the first one for loan bugs that are open and no one is assigned
  • solution: should we tell loanees to remove themselves from the bug and keep the bug open?
