OopsTools Sprint

• Where: Campinas, SP, Brazil
• When: 20-24 September 2010

Ursula and Diogo got together for a week to discuss improvements for https://edge.launchpad.net/oops-tools/. One of the goals for this sprint was to have Ursula and Diogo hacking together so Ursula can become more comfortable hacking on oops-tools.

Topics discussed

• how to get rid of the reports sent to the launchpad@ list, at most have just a single email sent (e.g. https://pastebin.canonical.com/37802/)

• improve the content of the reports
• provide web ui so developers can generate a customized report with oopses only interesting to them

• how to fix bug 461269 in a way that new oops attributes can be used to uniquely identify an infestation

• change pageid to become a first class object rather than an oops attribute, so we can make queries and build reports for them.

User Stories

• Deryck wants to see all OOPSes related to the Bugs team, but without the checkwatches noise.
• Danilo wants to see all OOPSes related to Translations in a single report.
• Robert wants to see reports grouped by pageid
• Julian doesn't want to receive any more email
• Francis, Robert and Jono wants to see an overall state of the production instances
• Gary wants the connection between infestations and Launchpad bug report to be very reliable (i.e. once the tool is taught about a false positive, it should do the right thing the next time)

Action items

• Bug XXX: change ErrorSummary object to accept sections so it can be built dynamically

• Bug XXX: web ui so developers can generate reports customized to what they need (http://ubuntuone.com/p/HvI/)

• Bug XXX: page id should become a first class object

• Bug XXX: put the exception value normalization code into the database

• Bug 461269: new oops attributes, such as pageid, should be used to uniquely identify an infestation

• File RT to have lp-production-configs on devpad automatically updated RT #41653

Bugs fixed during the sprint

• Bug 612354: fix oops-tools bootstraping

• Bug 251896: oops-tools should filter out not found errors referred from non-local domains
