Stats server issues

Post by joshz »

On the FaH stats server, team images seem to have disappeared, along with last work unit and number of active client info (see my team and user pages: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/mai ... num=168881 http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/mai ... name=joshz)

Not sure if this is the right place, or if it's a duplicate, so sorry if I messed up!

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
int randomNum ()
{
return 4; //4 is the IEEE-vetted choice for random numbers, so is guaranteed to be random. 
          //(this joke was shamelessly stolen from Randall Munroe)
}

Ah, OK. I should read the blog first, I guess.

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
int randomNum ()
{
return 4; //4 is the IEEE-vetted choice for random numbers, so is guaranteed to be random. 
          //(this joke was shamelessly stolen from Randall Munroe)
}

Yup, I know. I don't think I'll lose much sleep over it. :)

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
int randomNum ()
{
return 4; //4 is the IEEE-vetted choice for random numbers, so is guaranteed to be random.

Finally, we have noticed that there are many web clients pounding our stats system, some doing 10,000 accesses per day and many doing 1,000
is this baNNING 3rd party stats??? that would be very unortunate
We've turned off certain stats page functions dealing with queries relating to the number of CPUs.
i hope this remains temporary. this is a very important tool to mysel and my team. i can keep track of making sure my items are uploading properly, and keeping watch over my team, reminding them to turn their computer or ps3 back on. I've identified technical problems in multiple instances and corrected them do to the availability of this simple stat

This is not banning 3rd party stats: Even the biggest of them don't need to get stat data more than 10 times a day because the stats are not updated that often. The stat data is not real time, but only updated every 3? hours.

Moreover, the 3rd party stats download flat files rather than doing database queries so they are not part of Dr. Pande's counts.
