I have 114 AP WUs pending now, and only 1 valid one (which has been there for several days now, not just the usual 24 hours or so).

The Server Status page shows that the AP Validators are running (2 of 3 anyway) and has shown that for a while.

So wassup? Did I miss something recently? I have seen some comments about lack of AP server side processing, but usually in connection with the validators being down. So I ask again: wassup?

Problem is...
The AP validator that does validation on current work is #3....and it's been mostly down for quite a while.

298 pending and another 256 in progress. That will be a lot of fun when validator #3 comes alive...

Yeah, OK, so why can't one of the other validators do the work? Or why the H**l is validator #3 down, and, apparently, unattended?

All ap_validate processes are essentially identical, it's just that results for app_id 5 are checked by ap_validate3. The other two get app_id 3 and 4 and since there are no such results they just wake up occasionally, see there's nothing to do, and go back to sleep.

                                                                   Joe

In which caase, since all 3 are "identical", why aren't they table driven, so they can be redirected, in case of "emergency".

Question is moot now, as all 3 are now offline. Cool. Glad I had some effect!!!

Not to mention, I now have TWO validated APs. THAT must be what took down the other 2 validators - overworked, they are.

I had over 108 waiting validation this morning. Well the flood gates have opened and I'm down to 45.

Yes, it looks like whatever the problem was has been fixed (at least for now - hope it wasn't a one-time "hand job"). I have had 89 APs cross over from Pending to Valid.

Thanks to whoever deserves to be thanked on this one!

Yep, just had 25 validate..... Guess it was worth the wait!

I asked Eric to kick it on Friday...so he did :)

Holy Mother of AP!!!

Looks like the validator #3 got back to work today and the kitties scored around 200 valid AP WUs!!!

Many thanks to whoever dug into it and brought it back online.

Meow!

Can't argue with success - thanks, Blurf. And Eric.

Yep, cool action, Blurf, all AstroPulse work is validated and checked against a wingmen/women and given credit. MB work also.
I don't even have any Pending WUs....! RAC jumped up, nice :)

Once again, a happy cruncher.

YAY AP validators are running regular again. Now we can go about complains about something else.... again. :D
