Thanks for looking into this, Tom! But, I still have doubts that this fully explains the amount of tile-accesses reported for the earthquake region in the tiles-2016-08-23.txt.xz file: If I understand you correctly, this file will contain access data for the time between approximately 2016-08-23T04:00:00Z and 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z, right? That means that only the tile accesses during the first ~2.5 hours right after the earthquake should be included (note that this is also right in the middle of the night in central Europe when most interested people would have still been sleeping; and also very few media would have covered the earthquake and its full impact that quickly).
Still, the 2016-08-23 file reports quite too (?) many tile accesses for this short time period: There are roughly half as many tiles accesses reported in the earthquake region when compared to the log file of the next day (2016-08-24). For example, in an arbitrarily chosen bbox over the affected region, at zoom 15: total tile accesses: 2016-08-23: 165,262 2016-08-24: 350,527 average tile accesses: 2016-08-23: 375 2016-08-24: 762 accesses of most popular tile: 2016-08-23: 3,968 2016-08-24: 7,202 On Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at 11:41 AM, Tom Hughes <[email protected]> wrote: > On 26/08/16 08:56, Martin Raifer wrote: > >> As you can clearly see, the dates mentioned in the logs' file names >> don't match up with the actual event. >> >> Could it be that the dates are off by one?
