It's rare that there's value in having the log files get this big, and
these changes mean these log files should never consume more than a
few gigabytes.
And in particular, the server.log is far more important than the other
log files, and grows much faster, so we might as well spend most of
the space we are spending on that.
I estimate that the total size of log files from this is going to be
under 1-2GB, since 75MB (compressed size) * 10 (compressed logs) +
500MB (uncompressed size) = 1.25GB from server.log, and the rest is
negligible.
Fixes part of #5724.
Most of these log files are useless except a few minutes after an
event happens, and the aggregate effect of the originals size limits
meant that Zulip's logs could consume many gigabytes of disk.
The new logging strategy should limit our usage from supervisor logs
to at most 3 Gigabytes:
* 20 * 3 = 60MB per queue worker => <1GB.
* 100 * 10 = 1GB for Django and Tornado logs.
Fixes part of #5724.
While running queue processors multithreaded will limit the
performance available to very small systems, it's easy to fix that by
adding more RAM, and previously, Zulip didn't work on such systems at
all, so this is unambiguously an improvement there.
Fixes#32.
Fixes#34.
(Commit message expanded significantly by tabbott.)
Also puts them into a processing queue, though the queue processor
does nothing.
Rewritten by tabbott to avoid unnecessary database queries in
do_send_messages.
This fixes a performance problem where we were previously starting up
a full Django process (~0.7s even on a fast machine) every time a new
email came in, potentially allowing users to accidentally DoS a Zulip
server. Now, we just post over HTTPS, allowing the existing thread
pool support to do its job.
- Add script wrapper to communicate postfix pipe with django web server
over HTTP(S). It uses shared_secret authentication mode.
- Add django view to process messages from email mirror server.
- Clean management command `email-mirror`. Left just functional
for cron email processing.
- Add routes for new tornado view.
- Change pipe script in master process postfix config template
based on updated script.
- Add tests.
Tweaked by tabbott to adjust the directory and set better defaults.
Fixes#2421.
- Enable `master` parameter for `uswgi` configuration.
It allows cleaning leaked processes if the parent
process is closed unexpectedly or with SIGKILL command.
Child processes follow to the master and kill themselves
after the main process.
Fixes#3855
- Add new 'missedmessage_email_senders' queue for sending missed messages emails.
- Add the new worker to process 'missedmessage_email_senders' queue.
- Split aggregation missed messages and sending missed messages email
to separate queue workers.
- Adapt tests for sending missed emails to the new logic.
Fixes#2607
Using `supervisorctl restart all` carried longer downtime (since it
just restarts everything at the same moment) and was less under our
control; I'm not sure it had any advantages.
Since browser clients send messages via websockets and not the API,
this is an important element in making sure mission-critical Zulip
functionality is working.
I'm not altogether happy with this (a better solution would be
database-level locking), but I think it solves the immediate problem
of folks with 2 servers being very likely to run analytics on both of
them.
This results in a brief service interruption (not a graceful restart),
but fixes a bug where on a `supervisorctl restart zulip-django`, we'd
end up leaking a bunch of uwsgi processes.
The mechanism was that sending SIGHUP to uwsgi was a command for it to
gracefully restart, so it'd start doing that (whereas supervisor
expected it to be dying)... and then supervisor would start up the new
uwsgi process group, resulting in 2 uwsgi process groups running.
This, in turn, led to a memory leak that could eventually result in
OOM kills.
The old zulip_ops Nagios configuration depended on Nagios having the
ability to login as the zulip user (with essentially full write
access); this configuration is helpful for limiting nagios to special
"nagios" user with more limited credentials.
Previously, the CRITICAL state would never fire (because x > 6 =>
x > 3). Additionally, 6s is not so unusually high as to deserve being
immediately pageable.
- Add websocket client to create connection with SockJS websocket server.
It contains callback method to launch after connection setup.
- Add '--websocket' parameter to 'check_send_receive_time' script to
check websocket connection.
- Add testing websocket connection to production installation checking.
- Add cronjob to launch websocket connection nagios test.
This makes it possible for Zulip Nagios monitoring to check for
problems impacting the websockets sending code path, which is what all
web users use.
This change adds support for displaying inline open graph previews for
links posted into Zulip.
It is designed to interact correctly with message editing.
This adds the new settings.INLINE_URL_EMBED_PREVIEW setting to control
whether this feature is enabled.
By default, this setting is currently disabled, so that we can burn it
in for a bit before it impacts users more broadly.
Eventually, we may want to make this manageable via a (set of?)
per-realm settings. E.g. I can imagine a realm wanting to be able to
enable/disable it for certain URLs.
(Why is -u needed at all? I’m not sure, but test-run-dev spins forever
“Polling run-dev...” without it.)

This allows the actual nagios work involved with
check_send_receive_time nagios checks to be done by an unprivileged
"nagios" user rather than the "zulip" user.
There's no longer a reason to have copies of forked postgres
configuration files in our repository, since some time ago we merged
the features of these configuration files into the main
postgres_appdb_tuned.pp.
The old "zulip_internal" name was from back when Zulip, Inc. had two
distributions of Zulip, the enterprise distribution in puppet/zulip/
and the "internal" SAAS distribution in puppet/zulip_internal. I
think the name is a bit confusing in the new fully open-source Zulip
work, so we're replacing it with "zulip_ops". I don't think the new
name is perfect, but it's better.
In the following commits, we'll delete a bunch of pieces of Zulip,
Inc.'s infrastructure that don't exist anymore and thus are no longer
useful (e.g. the old Trac configuration), with the goal of cleaning
the repository of as much unnecessary content as possible.
This adds support for using PGroonga to back the Zulip full-text
search feature. Because built-in PostgreSQL full text search doesn't
support languages that don't put space between terms such as Japanese,
Chinese and so on. PGroonga supports all languages including Japanese
and Chinese.
Developers will need to re-provision when rebasing past this patch for
the tests to pass, since provision is what installs the PGroonga
package and extension.
PGroonga is enabled by default in development but not in production;
the hope is that after the PGroonga support is tested further, we can
enable it by default.
Fixes#615.
[docs and tests tweaked by tabbott]
The previous model for these Nagios checks was kinda crazy -- every
minute, we'd run a full `rabbitmctl list_consumers` for each of the
dozen+ consumers that we have, and then do the exact same parsing
logic for each to determine whether the target queue has a running
consumer to write out a state file.
Because `rabbitmctl list_consumers` takes a small amount of resources,
on systems where CPU is very limited (e.g. t2 style AWS instances),
this minor CPU wastage could be problematic.
Now we just do that `rabbitmqctl list_consumers` once per minute, and
output all the state files from a single command.
Further TODO items on this front include removing the hardcoded list
of queues.
