A recent change to cmd/go (5b3e576) broke cmd/tip, but we didn't realize it was broken because the active instances just kept serving the last working version. Eventually all four instances were restarted and they all failed to start godoc, being unable to find it. By that stage it was hard to understand what was going on.

It would be better if cmd/tip could somehow report that it has been wedged for a long time. Ideally before it stops serving properly.

An additional, more radical idea is for cmd/tip to—on startup—try earlier versions of go and tools to see if they work. That seems like a lot of fiddly nonsense though.

/cc @cnoellekb @bradfitz @andybons This enhancement is something we might want to take into account as part of moving the website to the x/website repository (issue #29206).

A similar issue happened in #29874, where tip.golang.org was out of date for 13 days before someone noticed.

Well, we could add monitoring for tip's /_status and send emails when it's angry.

We have https://farmer.golang.org/#health now, which is a great place to add a check for this.

However, we'll likely need to resolve #32949 first.

Change https://golang.org/cl/185139 mentions this issue: cmd/tip: clear error when process starts successfully

gopherbot pushed a commit to golang/build that referenced this issue Jul 9, 2019
We want the error to represent an ongoing problem. It's less useful
to constantly show the last error; we have logs for that.

This will help make the _tipstatus output more readable for humans,
and more friendly to being monitored by farmer.golang.org#health.

codebien pushed a commit to codebien/build that referenced this issue Nov 13, 2019
This change adds health monitoring for the tip.golang.org website
to farmer.golang.org#health, so we can know when there's an issue
with it without having to manually check it separately from every
other item already monitored at farmer.golang.org#health.

This is possible now that golang/go#32949 is resolved and
the _tipstatus page reports currently ongoing errors only.

Tested by running coordinator locally in dev mode.
