Oh hai there:

Just putting this here: https://munin.kiska.pw/munin/sidock-day.html

And asking if the Formula BOINC sprint is murdering the server?


As evidenced here by the longer than expected execution time of server_status.php

The Formula BOINC race was announced on 03/18/2021 11:00 (UTC) and began 03/19/2021 11:00 (UTC).
Some contestants begin bunkering where they down load as many WUs as they can finagle and start running them but they don't return them until after the race starts on 3/19 at 11:00 UTC.
So if your graph is in UTC then it makes sense. Returns are way down before race day and In Progress is up.
Then when the starting gun goes off they dump all their completed WUs and rts spikes while inProgress drops down to normal again.

Looking at the longer term charts I don't understand why there are so many more Returns than InProgress???

Oh, there's key on the bottom of the second page that is not on the first page.

In that case I don't see why you think they might be having server problems. SiDock is doing much better than last month for the BAMstats race. I've yet to see them run out of work this week.

I have two suggestions as to who is hammering the server:
1. BOINCers that are running more than one project but have set Resource for SiDock much higher than their other projects so it polls the server far more often than necessary to get a mere 2 WUs per thread, and
2. Bunkerers that use multiple clients to pretend to have more computers than they actually have and the app_config command <ncpus>N</ncpus> to pretend to have more CPUs than they actually have to suck down more WUs than they can actually run.

Oh and not 100's of Users with 100's of threads requesting work..(since we only get 2 per thread [~2 hours worth]).

It seems that we have returned to stable service?

Possible reasons:
1) Longer WUs = fewer connections to project server
2) All bunkers have been fully uploaded
2) FB Sprint is going to finish and some users are leaving
