Hello, Legoktm,

HaleBot didn't update its daily report today on schedule so I thought I'd let you know in case you need to whack it with a monkeywrench or, on the other hand, fine tune it. Thanks for looking into this when convenient. Liz Read! Talk! 01:08, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Well, HaleBot behaved last night but is taking a break today. I guess it's going through teenage rebellion. Liz Read! Talk! 01:10, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
Sorry for the lack of reply earlier @Liz, I'm a bit behind on wiki things. Toolforge, where HaleBot runs, is currently read-only so they can move the data over to new hardware. HaleBot will be back whenever that resumes, and should catch up on whatever reports it missed in the meantime. Legoktm (talk) 01:18, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
Well, that was a prompt reply! Thanks for the information. I guess these things happen. I'll be patient. Maybe the bots can use a day of Spring break. Liz Read! Talk! 06:01, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

HaleBot

Hello, Legoktm,

Wikipedia:Database reports/Empty categories didn't update tonight. It looks like the bot has been inactive for the past 8 hours. Maybe you or 0xDeadbeef could look into this situation. Thank you for any help you can provide! Liz Read! Talk! 01:15, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

There is also an issue with SDZeroBot as well, so I guess this is a system-wide issue. Liz Read! Talk! 01:34, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
Something is wrong with the "grid" system that normally schedules an executes jobs. I've moved it over to the newer platform and we'll see if it runs properly at 3:00 UTC... Legoktm (talk) 02:26, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
@Liz: there we go, updated now. Legoktm (talk) 03:07, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
It worked! Thanks for the prompt response! It's appreciated. Liz Read! Talk! 03:08, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
It looks like the Empty Categories list didn't get published again and when I looked at HaleBot's contributions, they haven't been active all day long. Another problem with the "grid"? Liz Read! Talk! 01:14, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
I switched it over to the new "Jobs framework", but it got stuck there :/ Kicked it manually, will watch in 7 minutes to see if it gets stuck again... Legoktm (talk) 02:53, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
Oh, Legoktm, another down day for HaleBot. It looks like it has been inactive now for 19 hours. Maybe it needs to be moved again? I'm sorry, this must be tedious for you. Thanks for any help you can supply. Liz Read! Talk! 01:07, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
Any chance of restarting the bot? Maybe it should be moved back to where it started. Liz Read! Talk! 01:06, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
Ugh, restarted. I've tried to institute a harder timeout so it shouldn't get stuck again hopefully. If not, I'll have more time to look at this on Monday. Legoktm (talk) 16:13, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
I just saw this discussion now.. Weird that I didn't get notified for the ping, I've been busy quite lately but let me know (either here or on matrix) if you need any help :) 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 16:29, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
@0xDeadbeef: You weren't notified because Liz didn't get this right the first time - attempts like this to correct it won't trigger a notification. More at WP:Echo. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:46, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
@0xDeadbeef: Something is causing the process to not exit cleanly and instead run forever...for now I've worked around it by running it under timeout 59m ..., but you've probably gotten enough email spam demonstrating that it's still busted. I'm also confused why this seemingly never happened under the grid, if you have any ideas on what the issue could be. Legoktm (talk) 04:20, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
