on beta the udp2log daemon write logs to /home/wikipedia/logs which is filling up the very tiny partition. We need to set that directory as a symbolic link to /data/project/udp2log or something and update the puppet classes. That is kind of an important issue since whenever /home end up being filled up, we are losing all logs :-(

The new role::beta::logging::mediawiki simply calls the previously applied class role::logging::mediawiki but using /data/project/logs. For back compatibility and ease of use, a basic symbolic link is kept around from /home/wikipedia/logs to the new directory. This would need to be manually fixed whenever the new class is applied on the logging server. I have switched deployment-dbdump to use the new instance. Worked fine :-]
