Due to the new search features in graphs-new.m.o it is easier to search for the results that you are interested in - nochrome and fast cycle results are correctly split out of regular data, you can search by the waterfall name instead of number (ie, Firefox instead of moz-central/1.9.2) and there is less old, busted data hiding in the database.
Is there any point in maintaining the list of graph links anymore? Can we get along without it now?
I have filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487333 (update talos graph links page to use new graph server), but would be just as happy to WONTFIX it. I don't want to put effort into maintaining a doc that isn't in active use.
Fine by me. I didn't find the pile-of-links method very useful... Johnath's PDB2 and catlee's regression scripts (posting here) are are better way to watch for problems.
From what I can tell, the new graph server still has many of the problems that make the list-of-links approach useful:
* It takes a bunch of clicks to get a graph showing all the mozilla- central Vista Ts results. This seems like a more common use case than anything that would necessitate scrolling through a complete list of machines, so I don't understand why it's so hidden. And someone who wants to see multiple platforms or multiple tests is going to have to go through most of the process several times.
* The page is intimidating, at least to me (I don't use it often).
* The page is slow to load and slow respond to each click, at least in Firefox debug builds.
* The URLs are really long, making them unfriendly to IRC / email / human understanding and trusting. For example, instead of
Can we get these issues filed as bugs against graph-server? I think that a better fix would be to make graph server more friendly, then just to accept that it is unwieldy and force maintenance of the graph links.
