VIP Platform Changelog

This change skips count validation on indexes that have no documents – these are assumed uninitialized. This results in a special line in the CLI initiated report:

$ wp vip-search health validate-counts
Validating post count

✅ no inconsistencies found when counting entity: post, type: post, index_version: 2 - (DB: 5, ES: 5, Diff: 0)
✅ no inconsistencies found when counting entity: post, type: page, index_version: 2 - (DB: 1, ES: 1, Diff: 0)
🟧 skipping, because there are no documents in ES when counting entity: post, type: post, index_version: 3
🟧 skipping, because there are no documents in ES when counting entity: post, type: page, index_version: 3

Validating user count

✅ no inconsistencies found when counting entity: user, type: N/A, index_version: 1 - (DB: 3, ES: 3, Diff: 0)
✅ no inconsistencies found when counting entity: user, type: N/A, index_version: 2 - (DB: 3, ES: 3, Diff: 0)

Also, the health cron job will not report mismatches for indexes with 0 documents.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1976

Activated the already-deployed code to detect and mitigate problems with the notoptions cache.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1977

Adds a new file with code that automatically detects corruption of the notoptions cache entry, clearing the cache and alerting when it is detected. This code is not yet activated – it will be required by a follow-up PR.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1970

Adds another filter to reduce requests from Jetpack made to detect HTTPS / SSL support.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1973

Since Jetpack works across many different hosting providers (some which may not support HTTPS / SSL), it attempts to detect support by making an HTTPS request to WordPress.com, which is then cached for 1 day. On VIP, SSL is always supported so we can skip this check by filtering the transient used to store the result.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1972

We have rolled out Jetpack 9.4 to all VIP Go sites (except those that are pinned to a specific version).

You can find here the list of changes in this version.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1971

As a part of code style cleanup, we need to rename class-health-job.php => class-healthjob.php. This is the last step removing to now unused class-health-job.php.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1969

As a part of code style cleanup, we need to rename class-health-job.php => class-healthjob.php. This is the second step switching all the references class-health-job.php => class-healthjob.php.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1968

In order to make future migration from Jetpack search easier, we implemented support for a jetpack_sync_post_meta_whitelist filter.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1951

We have upgraded the Jetpack 9.4 subtree to contain the final Jetpack 9.4 release. This will be set as the default for all unpinned sites on Thursday 4th.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1967

We added inactive index detection. This will detect all the inactive index versions if there was no change in active/non-active index versions for more than a month. This is the first step towards having an automated cleanup of these non-used index versions.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1957

Phpcs cleanup of class-health-job.php.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1960

#mu-plugins, #search, #code-standards

As a part of code style cleanup, we need to rename class-health-job.php => class-healthjob.php. This is the first step introducing class-healthjob.php which is a full copy of class-health-job.php as a new file.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1962

This change makes it easier for us to detect if/when the changelog automation fails to create a draft post.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1966

There’s now the option to skip loading VaultPress code entirely, which can be useful if it’s not being used.

Some considerations need to be taken to disable VaultPress if it has been used before. So in case you are interested, please open a support ticket to get more information.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1965

#mu-plugins, #vaultpress

We have removed some Jetpack versions (8.8, 8.9, 9.2) from vip-go-mu-plugins, that were no longer in use by any VIP Go site. Every included version takes space in the repository, so this is a needed maintenance task.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1964

#mu-plugins, #jetpack

We updated changelog automation to support tags. Some Github labels will automatically be converted to the changelog tags.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1961

Updated to the latest version of VIP Search. The only change is bringing search/elasticpress/includes/classes/Indexable/Post/Post.php in line with our coding standards.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1952

We updated ElasticPress dependency for VIP Search to enhance the data format about the post author stored in ElasticSearch.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1949

When a VIP Search query fails, it gets logged to Logstash so we can investigate the problems. Now we are also logging the full query sent to ElasticSearch and the PHP backtrace, so we can have much more detailed information about the root cause.
