The setting daily performance report is on for a few days, but I’ve never seen such a report in my Staff category.
How can I find out what is going wrong? Can someone confirm this issue on their end?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around the “Daily performance report” feature in Discourse, which MarcP is unable to generate despite having the setting enabled. maiki describes the feature’s behavior, but MarcP confirms that it’s not working on his end.
sam suggests checking the /logs for errors and later provides a more detailed troubleshooting step involving /sidekiq schedules sam. However, he also announces plans to pull the feature out of core Discourse due to low usage and support burden. codinghorror agrees with this decision.
sam eventually removes the feature and tests it as an unofficial plugin on his blog. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work, and sam decides to retire it, leaving the source code on his GitHub repository. maiki jokingly laments the loss of the feature, which provided a convenient way to see the site’s age.
I’m not sure how I could reproduce it in a timely manner. However, I’ll describe the thread: it is called “Website performance reports”, and updates each day with a reply that dumps nginx stats and such. There is only a single topic, each day gets a new reply.
Yes, difficult issue. I have not seen such a report on my board ever. It’s been on for a week now.
Have a look at your /logs there may be something explaining why it is not working.
I would, but there’s multiple errors in the log. Some might not be relevant. With actions I trigger I can refer to time time. What time is this report supposed to happen, so I can check if there is somethinf there at that time?
You can head to /sidekiq then click on schedules, trigger it right away and then look at logs for an error.
To be honest, I am going to pull this repo out of core discourse into a dedicated repo and maybe even “unofficialize” it.
Very few people use it and even one support topic for it is too much really of a burden.
I have never been a fan of this thing. Pull it is my vote.
Sure this is now done:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/e2ccb0c6082d7692a7bd7e4ecdd092d3e4811c61
If the thing still works (which I will test on my blog) I will create an unofficial plugin topic for it. If broken, I guess this is the end of the road for this plugin.
OK tested on my blog, I don’t think this is working anymore… I am retiring this thing, source is still on my GitHub repo if anyone feels like playing with this thing.
@sam but how will I know how many days old my site is, at a glance?!
