Log Message:

Fix stringified site object in extacct stats tag

DW::External::Site->get_site_by_id returns a blessed hashref, and concatenating with "site:" triggered Perl's default stringification, producing values like 'site:DW::External::Site::DeadJournal=HASH(0x...)'. The hash address was effectively a new label value per process, so every worker restart created a fresh set of unique series that lingered in the active-series count until they aged out. Use ->{hostname} to emit stable values like 'site:livejournal.com'.

Log Message:

Switch to self-hosted log service

I don't really want to pay hundreds/month for storing logs and I have a server hanging out that has fast disks/RAM, might as well just self-host it. It's not production so if it dies, I can always revert/fix.

Log Message:

Revert self-hosted log shipping, stay on Grafana Cloud

With the planned source-side log volume reduction, Grafana Cloud's per-GB pricing becomes negligible and the operational overhead of self-hosting (bandwidth, maintenance, availability) isn't worth it. Points Fluent Bit back at logs-prod-042.grafana.net with the Loki creds from SSM.

Changed paths: M cgi-bin/LJ/ESN.pm M etc/log4perl.conf

Log Message:

Reduce log volume: trim log4perl layout and drop duplicate ESN rejection log

Two small changes that together cut log bytes substantially:

etc/log4perl.conf: drop %F:%L %M from the conversion pattern. File, line, and function name added ~80 bytes of framing to every line system-wide; they're rarely useful since the trace prefix and message already identify the code path, and esn-trace searches by trace ID rather than file/line.
cgi-bin/LJ/ESN.pm: remove the filter_reject debug log in unique_matching_subs. The callee-side log in JournalNewComment::matches_filter already logs every rejection with strictly more information (reason, wanted_jtalkid), so the caller- side log was pure duplication. The dw.esn.filter metric stays.

Together these eliminate roughly half of every ESN filter-rejection pair plus ~40% bytes on every log line.
