Stats is back online and catching up now.
Thanks for your patience. Moo!
staff blogs
distributed.net staff keep (relatively) up-to-date logs of their activities in .plan files. These were traditionally available via finger, but we've put them on the web for easier consumption.

We’re having some unexpected hardware problems with our stats server.
We hope to get it back online soon. No work will be lost during this
outage. Thanks for your patience.

The drive replacement and the array rebuild were successful.
Thanks for your patience.

Stats will be taken down in a few minutes to replace a failing drive
in its array. Hopefully it shouldn’t be down for very long.

Stats should be up-to-date again. A problem that occurred during our
automated log importing required some debugging to undo and correct.
No stats credits should have been lost as a result of the downtime.
Thanks for your patience.

Stats updates broke a couple of days ago due to some data import
issues. We’ll get them back on-line as soon as we can diagnose and
correct the problem. Thanks for your patience.

As you have probably noticed, we now have more detailed completion
statistics available for the OGR-25 project. By clicking on the
‘%-complete’ number on the main project status page, one can reach
a detailed ‘stubspace completion’ page. This new page outlines
the completion rates for each stubspace, as well as the overall
project stub completion information. You can reach the new page
directly at:
http://stats.distributed.net/project/ogr_status.php
In addition, for those statistics junkies out there, we have historical
information available as well at the following URL:
http://stats.distributed.net/project/ogr_status_history.php
The status history screen will display a usage message if appropriate
arguments are not supplied, which I have duplicated here for those
interested:
Usage:
project_id == The project to do stubspace reporting on
stubspace_id == [optional] The specific stubspace to report on
start_date == [optional, default: 30 days ago,
format example: 01-Apr-2008]
The date to start pulling data
end_date == [optional, default: today, format example: 01-Apr-2008]
The last date to pull data for
output_format == The output format you’d prefer [xml, csv]
Usage Example:
ogr_status_history.php?project_id=25&output_format=xml
It should be noted that the OGR completion percentages do update a
couple hours later than the rest of the statistics information
[usually around 01:30 UTC].
If anyone would like to see changes/enhancements to any of these
screens, please don’t hesitate to open a bug in bugzilla and copy me
[thejet@distributed.net] in the CC field. We’ll take a look and see if
we can integrate your suggestions, or better yet, submit a patch! :)
Bugzilla can be found here:

Thanks for your participation and happy crunching!!! MOOO!!!

Thanks to Simon T. we’ve got another XML export in our stable.
The Participant Summary page is now available as an XML export.
The new page can be reached at:
http://stats.distributed.net/participant/psummary_xml.php
The page takes the following arguments [as query string parameters]:
id = The participant ID
project_id = The project ID [25 == OGR-25, 8 == RC5-72]
show_friends = Include friend statistics in a element
show_neighbors = Include neighbor statistics in a element
An example can be seen here:
http://stats.distributed.net/participant/psummary_xml.php?id=236831&project_id=25&show_friends=1&show_neighbors=1
Hopefully over the next few weeks/months we’ll get a more robust implementation
to allow all of our statistics pages to be viewed in XML form, making
life much easier for those 3rd party statistics web sites to grab their
core data.

At our recent code-a-thon in Austin we made some significant headway on a
couple of stats projects. One is more behind the scenes and probably not as
interesting to the public (logdb), while the other is something we’re hoping is
going to be quite useful for a number of you.
In short, we have made a few changes to the way stats system works to enable it
to read either our internal log files or (drumroll) logs from a personal proxy.
We should warn you that this code path is relatively untested, but that’s what
we’re hoping you will help us with. We’re also sadly behind on documentation,
but we’re working on that, too.
We would, as always, be glad to hear about bugs suggestions or improvements
(even better when they come with a diff!). http://bugs.distributed.net/ is the
best place to report these issues. If you have questions, you can either submit
them as a bug or join us on #distributed via IRC on irc.distributed.net.

I’m going to upgrade PostgreSQL on stats in a few minutes… downtime should be
minimal.
