+ | * Ere asked whether we need version-specific pages in some cases? Can we use a struct plugin to control this in a more structured way? André asked if we should consider snapshotting versions of the wiki at points in time to refer to specific versions? (If so, how do we document upcoming features?). Alternative proposal from Demian: simply state that documentation should be accurate for some number of recent VuFind releases (e.g. latest 2-3 major releases). Older notes could be removed. Since VuFind is designed to be fairly evergreen, this might be a more maintainable solution, and encourage people to upgrade from very old versions while still leaving likelihood of most documentation still applying to older versions. Mohan highlighted the need to upgrade documentation relating to VuFind' | ||

+ | David asked whether there is a mechanism for monitoring the health of external services in VuFind -- errors, slow responses, etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Demian uses Microsoft Teams to collect data about exceptions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ere suggests that it might be possible to use a custom HTTP client to collect more detailed statistics about things like response times. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ere also highlighted the value of using different php-fpm pools for different types of requests to avoid getting bogged down by slow third party services. | ||
