Proposal: decommision fedoracommunity/stats running on app07

[Seth Vidal]

Hi,
  We have one remaining RHEL5 host - app07. It is being kept alive in order 
to keep running the fedoracommunity/stats page. After talking with Luke 
about it I went looking through the http logs for fedoracommunity on 
app07. In the last year the number of connections hitting a url 
mentioning 'statistics' page is 1994. In the last 3 months the number is 
15.

In the last 2 months the number is 0.


I think it is not helping up to keep this one oddball host around for 
this. I'd like to suggest we decomm community/statistics and either 
rebuild app07 as rhel6 or just terminate it.

Is there any thing about doing this that we need to be concerned with? any 
additional worries as to what's on app07 or what is using the 
community/statistics page that I'm not thinking of?

Thanks,
-sv

works for me.  When we first moved community off to its own rhel5 host so we
could upgrade the rest of the app* servers there seemed to be a consensus
that we could get rid of community but datanommer might be right around the
corner so if there were no issues there might not be a burden to keeping it
up and running.

Since "just around the corner" has expired quite a few months ago and
getting pam_url built for RHEL5 is proving to be less simple than dropping
the SRPM into koji it seems quite fine to decommission it.

It's similar to the case of smolt -- an optional service that isn't being
used by many with a new service preparing to take its place somewhere in the
wings.

+1 for decommissioning.

pingou got the ball rolling with a new Fedora stats app, which seems
like a good place to migrate our old fedoracommunity stats widgets to.

If any new folks with Python skills want to help out with this, ping us
in #fedora-apps :)

+1. 

I'd say decomission it, but keep the lv around in case we find we need
to mine anything off it later for new stats.
