Yes. Not enough cpu / disk space to generate statistics. iirc the last attempt resulted in a total block of the whole cluster. Hopefully one server will be dedicated to handling logs in a near future and webalizer stats will then be build again.

I think we could learn a lot about how the community really functions by studying logs, and the traffic stats are important for us to understand and project our growth patterns. My question to wikitech-l: what sort of machine should we use for this? I am thinking that a fully loaded dual Opteron is overkill, but a typical apache is too small? Probably we'd want to have a lot of disk space, possibly RAID 5 as the best balance between storage space, redundancy, and speed. (We don't want to lose a huge chunk of data to a bad hard drive, but on the other hand we don't need absolute speed either.) Probably we'd want a decent CPU, but it doesn't have to be top-notch, since these are batch jobs and the machine should not be doing anything else anyway. Your thoughts? --Jimbo _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
