If the servers follow trend, the RTS has to fall to almost zero before it triggers the splitters into action. I have been getting a few tasks but the majority are in download stall backoffs.

Majority?
I think I've been able to get 2 WUs to download on one system, not a single WU on the other. Tried both download server IP addresses, but it's just not happening.
Things are seriously borked.


Edit- looks like some signs of life from the splitters. Now if only the download servers would come to life as well.

Tasks seem to be rolling in at somewhat of a reasonable rate now.

Thanks for the heads up.
I hit "Retry pending transfers" and they started moving at 300kB/s+.

Of course now the Ready-to-send buffer is empty, and the life the splitters were showing earlier appears to have petered out.
By tomorrow it'll hopefully have sorted itself out.

I just managed to clear all my stalled downloads so now they will be able to ask for work. Oh, well, nothing from the servers is all they get now.

Eeeew....my living room was cold this morning ;-)
Was able to clear stalled downloads and got three batches of tasks around 7 UTC, to almost full cache. Now back to No Tasks Available.
That means baby-sitting for a while, while BOINC is in back-off mode.
Edit : Splitters must be moving again, just got some new tasks, not resends.

I just got a couple of good hits.

It's only taken 4 hours since the end of the outage.
And the splitters haven't fired up to replace the work that has been sent out.

Still getting "Project has no tasks available" for me.

Edit- and then 2 minutes later- work gets allocated.
Now if only they would download- says Download active, but nothing is actually happening.

. . Yep. that was what I was getting then as well, so I stopped trying and went out :)

. . Now I'm back and some work is flowing out. Time to restart the empty machines and hope.

Looks like the servers have started clearing the Validator backlog; although the splitters continue to struggle.
Good thing there's a fair amount of AP & Arecibo VLAR work about to help keep the return rate down.

I agree. While I'd like to see the RTS queue full, it is probably more important to keep making progress on the validation, assimilation and purging. Things are looking good, or at least much better than Tuesday right before the outage. The results out in the field is pretty close to what it was before, so hopefully everyone has full caches of WUs to work on.

. . When we had that serious noise bomb storm a little while ago the 'returned last hour' figure leapt up to around the 200,000 mark. 139,000 simply indicates that there are currently no more Arecibo VLAR tasks (very slow) being distributed. When the next Arecibo tape gets mounted or the current one gets 'unstuck' that will drop again.

Fair point. When the more work is being returned per hour it means we are processing faster which is good considering we have so much information to get through.

It is nice to see the administration queue is under half a million

. . The assimilation queue is still a little over the half mil mark but getting close, much better than when it was nudging 1.5 Mil. The validation queue still over 5 mil but dropping as fast as the assimilation queue, down from about 6.3 mil. The two purge queues are both up by almost the same amounts so they are not quite coping with the extra load they getting with the faster performance of the preceding queues.

The system is looking good. It worked through all the validation and assimilation backlog. We have enough files to get us through to Monday as long as there aren't any noise bombs. No panic at the moment, just wishing for some Aricebo data.

Maybe they'll be relaxed enough on Tuesday to un-stick that 14no18aa tape, which has been stuck since around, well, 14 November.
