Subject: Re: [Distutils] [Catalog-sig] Proposal: Move PyPI static
data to the cloud for better availability
Is there any Nagios monitoring in place or is there the need to have
some external reliability monitoring in place?
There is no external monitoring in place that I know of. I know ZC
had some monitoring that was supposed to send me an email, but that
was setup a few years ago, and recently didn't report the downtime.
My own mirroring reported the downtime (indirectly, by reporting
that it couldn't mirror anymore); this is how I noticed one of the
recent outages.
I can set up a Nagios machine to check the HTTP status of PyPi.
If it's easy to setup: why not? What exactly would that check?
As you said, we may have the same problem in the future on all
mirroring nodes ...
Yes, there should be some more investigative work be done on the
reason
of the apparent unreliability.
The pep381mirror software produces a set of static files on the
mirror, so you don't need to run PyPI itself. I merely use Apache to
serve the PyPI mirrors.
Regards,
Martin
