Inactive extra machines

This is mostly for the project administrators. Does anyone out there know how to delete host records? I went through a period of time where I had to reinstall an os on a couple computers. Now I have like 10 computers listed but only 4 actually exist. How do I delete the rest? I'm trying to do so because I'm trying to track what machines are doing what through BOINCStats, and all these extra machine records are screwing with the stats. I've straightened out every other project. How do I straighten out this one?

Re: Inactive extra machines

Hello Matt Draper,
The old registrations cannot be removed from the WCG server. It was originally designed for the UD system, unlike all-BOINC servers. Perhaps there is something on the BOINC stats site that can merge stats from different devices?

Re: Inactive extra machines

I've looked at all the options on it. The site is www.boincstats.com. They have the BAM (BOINCStats Account Manager) that I use to manage all the machines I use. They don't have an option to delete hosts or merge them because they update their information daily off of the project servers. I've managed to merge computer records for my machines on most of the sites. A couple are down for extended maintenence or such. Those are just on the stats history until they are back up to update the info or the site goes down. WCG is the only site that doesn't have the same BOINC options. I know it wasn't originally setup for BOINC. However, being adapted to work with BOINC means that somewhere it's implemented. Somewhere there is BOINC server code floating around with UD code. If the BOINC code could finish being implemented into the server, possibly seperating the two projects servers and having a common web gateway for user access plus a stats program to comb through user files and combine everything into WCG stats, people could manage and use their respective side easier and more fully. Only a thought. One I think could easily be done. Don't even need seperate machines, just seperate website folders. Something to add to the wishlist maybe.

Re: Inactive extra machines

The wish list for this feature is probably thick as a book. With UD agent being phased out and going all BOINC there is a future chance. Until then the UD database where all devices are initially created dictates what can not be done or rather un-done. There is a Start Here forum post explaining how to avoid this in the future as well as WCG just implementing code to identify computers that were already attached before so they do not create a new device. The test performed to succeed is this, courtesy of knreed:

I just deployed the update to the scheduler that will do the host matching. The host matching will use the following fields to match up with a previously registered host:

user name
domain_name
ip_addr (the ip of the client on the local network)
operating system name
processor vendor
memory

Already established that using the BOINC optional hiding feature for Domain and local IP causes this to fail!
