Long story short: The Windows Buildbot masters need to be rebooted every 3 weeks instead of 6 weeks to not swap. | |||
The Buildbot-per-step lag which Kyle and Armen were reporting was a symptom of the Buildbot masters slowing down job execution. | |||
By Buildbot's design, when a machine finishes a step, it will wait for the master to define what the next step is. | |||
The more logs produce and machines connected to a master the worse the performance is and the faster the master gets to swap its memory. | |||

The Windows masters got rebooted on Friday. So far, today there are no dramatic Windows testing backlogs (We had 6k per pool last week). | |||
Two more masters are being added. Code to track master lag landed to the output of the jobs and being reported to graphite. | |||
Investigation is on-going to detect this state sooner. | |||
There is also talk of switching the model of log parsing that Buildbot does to prevent parsing several MBs of logs but instead kylobytes. | |||
This is not an issue on TC due to its different architectural design. | |||
* [mcote] What's the plan with the Quarter of Contribution? I got a direct email the other day; just want to know what the process is. | |||
** Help people get started with good-first-bugs for the project. Based on their progress, mentors decide by Nov 18th whether these contributor(s) should work on the QoC project or other, smaller tasks. | |||
* I want to enable automatic backfilling once we can determine current backlog load (do not backfill then). | |||
** Instead of waiting until automatic *starring* to be available | |||
