Re: [tor-relays] Overloaded state indicator on relay-search

Hi, I've done some further analysis on this. The reason my relay is being marked as overloaded is because of DNS timeout errors. I had to dive into the source code to figure this out. In dns.c, a libevent DNS_ERR_TIMEOUT is being recorded as an OVERLOAD_GENERAL error. Am I correct in saying

Did you use a lot of ram or cpu power recently? I got flagged as overloaded when I was compiling something and used a lot of cpu.Again, the problem here is that even if you fix it, you won’t know for 3 days. Therefore if you try multiple methods to fix it you won’t know what the problem is.I

Agreed . My relay is wellBelow all of the thresholds for “overloaded”, for gods sake 64gb ram and 12 cpus should be adequate for a tor relay? 10gb connection?I’ve asked multiple times for help trying to figure this out and have gotten zero response. It seems to be very difficult to get any help
