Is it possible to reduce the number of messages generated when new tasks are downloaded please. I've just counted thirty messages for one task ! Contrast this with SETI@Home which generates only two messages per download.

Re: Download messages

WCG has projects too that only produce 1 or 2 lines per result download ;>)

But seriously, you control the amount of logging, but usually it is just an on / off switch i.e. you can switch file transfer logging off in the cc_config.xml by changing the 1 to a 0. Personally I do not recommend this as it's one of the key indicators of smooth operation which is set by default on, so you can see what's going up and down.

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<task>1</task>
<file_xfer>1</file_xfer>
<sched_ops>1</sched_ops>
<state_debug>0</state_debug>
<task_debug>0</task_debug>
<file_xfer_debug>0</file_xfer_debug>
<sched_op_debug>0</sched_op_debug>
<http_debug>0</http_debug>
<work_fetch_debug>0</work_fetch_debug>
<unparsed_xml>0</unparsed_xml>
<proxy_debug>0</proxy_debug>
<time_debug>0</time_debug>
<http_xfer_debug>0</http_xfer_debug>
<benchmark_debug>0</benchmark_debug> *
<poll_debug>0</poll_debug>
<guirpc_debug>0</guirpc_debug>
<scrsave_debug>0</scrsave_debug>
<rr_simulation>0</rr_simulation>
<cpu_sched>0</cpu_sched>

<app_msg_send>0</app_msg_send>

Re: Download messages

Hello Sekerob

Can you tell me where I would go to find out what each of the various lines in your cc_config.xml file does?

I just open mine and my file is a lot different than what your file shows, and my system in crunching away fine with no problems.

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
</log_flags>
<options>
<client_version_check_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/download.ph...ent_version_check_url>
<client_download_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/download.php</client_download_url>
<network_test_url>http://www.ibm.com/</network_test_url>
<start_delay>120</start_delay>
</options>
</cc_config>

Look at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
</log_flags>
<options>
<client_version_check_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/download.ph...ent_version_check_url>
<client_download_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/download.php</client_download_url>
<network_test_url>http://www.ibm.com/</network_test_url>
<start_delay>120</start_delay>
</options>
</cc_config>

That was just an extract of all the available log flag options. The 3 that are default on (1) at top are not in the cc_config.xml of the original Berkeley installer, don't ask me why (I have my thoughts on that). In fact the Berkeley version does not create a cc_config.xml at install, the WCG's package does just having additional lines.

Be careful that not all lines apply to all versions of BOINC, thus assuming you are on 6.2.28, some of 6.6 will not work. They are marked appropriately in that linked document.

Re: Download messages

I edited my cc_config.xml as follows

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
</log_flags>
<options>
<client_version_check_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/download.ph...ent_version_check_url>
<client_download_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/download.php</client_download_url>
<network_test_url>http://www.ibm.com/</network_test_url>
<start_delay>120</start_delay>
<checkpoint_debug>0</checkpoint_debug>
</options>
</cc_config>

but I got the following message afterwards

Unrecognized tag in cc_config.xml: <checkpoint_debug>

Any reason why, I am running recommended version: 6.2.28

Re: Download messages

If you look carefully in that document you see that the particular line belongs in a different section of the cc_config.xml i.e. between the <log_flag> tags wink

Re: Download messages

Hello Sekerob

Thank you for the quick reply.

I made the change and now I know when each of my work units checkpoints.
