gerrit-wm appears to no longer be reporting changes to Gerrit in #mediawiki.
reloaded it on manganese and now it's fine. perhaps it didn't do well with the netsplit yesterday.
Re-opening as this appears to be happening again. --- gerrit-wm!~gerrit-wm@manganese.wikimedia.org ircname IRC echo bot channels : #wikimedia-dev #mediawiki #mediawiki-parsoid #wikimedia-mobile +#wikimedia-operations server holmes.freenode.net London, UK idle : 1 days 1 hours 51 mins 54 secs signon: Mon Dec 31 17:47:25 2012 ---
restarted the bot, I wont' know if it's happy til there's a change though.
Works now, Thanks.
The bot really ought not suddenly go quiet. It's staying connected to the network and joined to the channels, it just (seemingly) stops sending messages to the channel inexplicably. Re-opening this bug and updating its summary accordingly.

I don't usually idle on #mediawiki so I can't speak of other times, this one it was because of a netsplit at 2012-12-31 22.46 UTC from which it recovered a minute later: last message is a minute before it and afterwards silence. wikibugs is less capriccioso.

Ariel explained to me that there's an outstanding bug in irclib (or ircbot.py or whatever gerrit-wm uses) in handling netsplits. I suppose this bug is as good as any to track that issue.

I'm going to move it to General since it's not a Gerrit problem (and presumably affects other services using ircecho).

Already deployed for gerrit, icinga, and icinga (labs). I'm marking this as fixed for now. If the bot still has problems we can reopen.
