Just out of curiosity.. in the HTTP Proxy tab.. "don't use proxy for:" field.. how do I tell it not to use it for uploads and scheduler contacts? Is that going to be something like "sched_op" or something along those lines? I get HTTP errors most of the time on scheduler contacts when using a proxy, and only one that I've used so far was able to upload. So this is working, but I don't know how to put multiple items in the box. I've tried a simple space, I've tried a comma, I've tried a semi-colon. Anything after the first FQDN is ignored, apparently. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) |

Here's a snippet of my messages tab, with nothing trimmed or removed for this batch of downloads: That is how it was for me before New Year. 15KB/sec. Now it is kinda hard getting ap tasks. Transfers stalls most of the time in countown for server backoffs. But again I am in Northen Europe, kinda far away from Berkely servers. |

Not really panic mode....since today's outage the kitties have refilled the crunchers' caches, so things must be flowing OK. But I am wondering if it is just coincidental that the Cricket graphs dropped dead during the outage, OR, was there some change made in the path that the servers are transferring data? Curious, as it is so rare for the Cricket graphs to go down. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

here's an odd one: the daily cricket graph has had no data since (roughtly...) 1300 2/12/13 - but the weekly has shown full usage during the period... (except when the outage was occurring...) . Hello, from Albany, CA!... |

I don't see that with this link...the weekly graph stops at the same time as the daily, and has not come back up since. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

The graphs are fed by SNMP multicast packets and are captured using SNMP traps. Either the device stopped sending the packets out, or the trap stopped listening. Hard telling. I did notice something that I haven't been able to do in a long time though. I had reported some tasks minutes before maintenance went down (I pulled up the task pages and was adding the new tasks that I received overnight to my spreadsheet, and when I hit "next 20" to go to the ones that I reported, it had gone down during that 2-3 minutes), and when it all came back up afterward, those completed tasks were still there. In the past.. year+, I know tasks are supposed to stay visible for ~24h, but during the maintenance, even if it has only been 20 minutes, if it is validated and assimilated, it gets purged during the clean-up maintenance. This time, that did not happen. I was glad, too, because there were several of them and I hate having blanks in my spreadsheet.

APs are still downloading slow as heck. My fastest speed so far is 8 KBps. Well at least they are downloading. [/quote] Old James |

It seems like Cricket has been dead since about 6PM (Eastern) yesterday. Who should/ how should we contact to notify them (assuming they don't know)? |

Given that all the Cricket graphs for all the UCB routers went dead at the same time, I'm sure they know. Joe |

Given that all the Cricket graphs for all the UCB routers went dead at the same time, I'm sure they know.Joe Thank you, Joe. I was unaware of that. I had not looked at any links for any of the other Cricket monitors. And, we should not try to contact anybody about them regardless. Most folks, if they are not aware, should know a couple of other things as well. The Cricket graphs are primarily for the use of the campus IT staff. Not the Seti project. They are courteous enough that our use of them either is accepted from outside of the campus, or the few of us that use them causes no problems for them. And, the use of live links with the img tag to display the actual graphs was discouraged some time ago, to prevent the graph server from being pinged every time a Seti forum thread containing them is viewed. Most have respected that since then. That's why I only post a link that can be viewed when clicked upon, not show an updated graph on each and every post view. I do hope they come back up, as they are a great tool for us Seti obsessed types off campus. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I don't think we've ever been officially discouraged from posting live cricket links - certainly Eric himself has posted them in the past (see message 918297). I have a vague memory that we had a discussion on the subject last time somebody got a bee in their bonnet and started hiding posts that contained them, but that would be harder to search for. Obviously, discretion is requested - don't over-use the resource, and there are times when it's actually more useful for troubleshooting purposes to re-host a static copy and link that instead. I'd just ask people to use their intelligence, and think before posting, rather than try to impose a blanket ban. |

I have a vague memory that we had a discussion on the subject last time somebody got a bee in their bonnet and started hiding posts that contained them, but that would be harder to search for. I really don't recall anymore how the conversation came up or who brought it up. Point being, we would not like to overburden a resource that we are being allowed to access by unofficial courtesy. And it really is not necessary, the simple link allows anybody to see it when desired, without loading the graph from the server anytime somebody simply looks at the thread. Posting a static copy of course, would not do that either. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I would agree to use discretion. Nobody is on the look out to start hiding posts for live links to the cricket graphs. I had just starting using the boards when it was told to us stop using live links. Eric as the project scientist, and all the other titles he holds can post what ever live links he desires. You wont see me hiding a post of his:) [/quote] Old James |

And you will notice that the post in question is almost 4 years old. And, as Richard indicated, a static link would still show the point Eric was making at that time. The live display shown now is totally irrelevant to what he was posting about then. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Looks like someone gave them a 24 hour pass they deserve a day off every now and then they have to put up with a lot of bits from all sorts of people. |
