I've added rudimentary hourly statistics gathering. I'd like to request assistance in collecting stats from other nodes. I'm looking for nodes that are on nearly all the time, and have been established for a while. 24x7 would be nice, but is by no means required -- but on most of the day is required; lets say 20-22 hours a day. If you shut it down to play the occasional game or for reboots upgrades, that's fine; if you shut it down at night, that's not fine.
To gather stats, you'll need to upgrade to the latest version out of git. (Hopefully toad can release a testing build soon, but for now you need to compile from git.) You'll need to be running loglevel normal or higher (or add freenet.node.NodeStats:normal to your detailed thresholds). This creates an hourly stats dump in the logs. Please ensure you have enough log space that it doesn't delete old logs before you get the hourly stats out of them. Once you've got the logs, run the following command: zgrep HourlyStats /path/to/freenet/logs/freenet-*.gz | sed -e "s/^.*HourlyStats: //">hourly_stats.txt Then email me the file. No identifying info about what you're using Freenet for is collected, but counts of local requests made are collected (I want to make some attempt to correct for local usage, though I don't yet know how). Feel free to use an anonymous remailer or something if you'd like, but I would like a way to contact you. I intend to make this process simpler at some point, but first I'd like to do a bit of analysis on some preliminary data. Thanks! Evan Daniel
