Grafana

From Wikimedia Belgium

Grafana is a tool to visually monitor the Wikimedia server load. You get an overview of the server load for the different applications, and immediately see if there is a general problem.

Usage

[edit]
  • When using Pywikibot, and you get Maxlag timeout messages, you can monitor the Wikidata Maxlag transaction delay, to see when you could resume running your scripts.
