ReleaseEngineering/Slave Health

What is slave health?

Slave health is a web tool used by releng, specifically buildduty, to monitor and affect the health of the various slave pools.

Deployment

Slave health is deployed on cruncher under /home/buildduty/slave_health

There are currently two cronjobs on cruncher that correspond to slave health:

#m   h     d   mth   dow
*/15  *    *   *     *   /home/buildduty/slave_health/slave_health_cron.sh
15    0    *   *     *   source /home/buildduty/buildduty/bin/activate && \
  python /home/buildduty/slave_health/slave_health/scripts/generate_chart_objects.py

/home/buildduty/slave_health/slave_health_cron.sh should be copied from /home/buildduty/slave_health/slave_health/scripts on when the script is updated in version control.

Buildduty Report

We also stick the buildduty report under slave health, however its not generated from the slave health repo.

It is run from cron with:

#m   h     d   mth   dow
1     5-18 *   *     1-5 /home/buildduty/buildduty/buildduty_report.sh
