Spreadfirefox affiliates points makeup

Go to the Spread Firefox wiki home

Summary

Since around Sept. 2008, we've had issues with Affiliates points and metrics on Spread Firefox that caused us to lose track of all-time totals for each affiliate.

This is a project to recover those points, by means of re-extracting the data from access logs. Metrics and IT will help parse the months worth of log files to find the data we need.

Deliverables

• Detailed description of Affiliates stats and how they are calculated (Alex B)
• Restore log files from tape (chizu + IT)
• Restore Sept. 1 DB backup from tape (chizu + IT)
• More hardware? (metrics + IT)
  • Having more processing power will make this a faster process. Currently, we have 1 box, dm-stats01. IT would be the one to decide & deliver the actual hardware. Metrics has a good idea of what we would need.

Timing

We are shooting to have this complete in July. No specifics on schedule so far.
