Analytics
edit- Missed past 2 weeks - Apologies.

- Ongoing: EventLogging to Hive code is in code review, we should have some tests soon.
- Vetting Last_access_uniques for global sites (*.wikimedia.org) is taking us long time because of unexpected data issues.
- We just deployed Event Logging with better bot detection (bot events are not stored in Mysql anymore).
- Reportcards updated to mark notable data events.
- Pageview data in Druid is now updated hourly (less than 2 hours late).
- Pivot (data visualisation for Druid) is not Opensource anymore, we need to find a replacement.
- We are working on a script for purging EventLogging Mysql (for those of you who don't expect that, please talk to us :).
- Druid and pivot currently not working due to upgrade.
