It seems that after the latest daily stats update, the XML file for the external stats sites hasn't been updated...

They're updated every 6 hours (opposed to the webstats which do it every 12 hours). Please check if they have now.

No, they haven't, usually, end-of -day stats update coincides (with some DST offset) with the updates on BOINCStats.com for example.--//-- However, as of a minute ago, it states that the last XML update was provided 12h44m ago. That has happened at least a couple of times in the last year before... Ralf |

Here is the crontab entry for the export stats update:
----------------------------------------16 0,12,18 * * * /usr/local/boinc/scripts/gen_stats.sh 16 6 * * 1,2,4,6 /usr/local/boinc/scripts/gen_stats.sh This means that the stats are updated every 6 hours EXCEPT on Wednesday and Sunday at 6:16 UTC. It is skipped at that time because that is when our database backup is run. Thus this morning, the job was skipped. I just verified and the 12:16 run of the stats was completed and the stats were updated 1 hour ago (completed at 12:32 UTC) Looking in the log file shows this for the 0:16 UTC from the earlier scheduled run: 2012-05-09 00:16:01.4308 Quitting because trigger file '../stop_daemons' is present We had the backend scripts (validator/assimilator) stopped briefly to take care of something and that resulted in export not running due to that check. This resulted in 2 intervals where the stats were not exported. They are available and updated now. [Edit 2 times, last edit by knreed at May 9, 2012 1:26:54 PM] |

Here is the crontab entry for the export stats update: Thanks, I just saw that they had indeed ran and updated.16 0,12,18 * * * /usr/local/boinc/scripts/gen_stats.sh 16 6 * * 1,2,4,6 /usr/local/boinc/scripts/gen_stats.sh This means that the stats are updated every 6 hours EXCEPT on Wednesday and Sunday at 6:16 UTC. It is skipped at that time because that is when our database backup is run. Thus this morning, the job was skipped. I just verified and the 12:16 run of the stats was completed and the stats were updated 1 hour ago (completed at 12:32 UTC) In all the time that I participate in here, I never noticed that there are certain times that the update won't run. Thanks again for the info of those exceptions in the schedule, though according to the times mentioned on the boinctstats.com web site a little bit earlier (http://boincstats.com/index.php?pr=wcg) it was +18h since the last update, which means that at least one one of those scheduled XML stats update runs doesn't seem to have run...

Looking in the log file shows this for the 0:16 UTC from the earlier scheduled run: Thanks, you just edited your post while I was already replying.2012-05-09 00:16:01.4308 Quitting because trigger file '../stop_daemons' is present We had the backend scripts (validator/assimilator) stopped briefly to take care of something and that resulted in export not running due to that check. This resulted in 2 intervals where the stats were not exported. They are available and updated now. It seems to have updated fine by now and the combined stats of the last couple updates are showing up now...  Ralf |

Ralf Somehow my memory suggests that BOINCstats does not update our main page more frequently than once per 24 hours, at an odd time just before an export time. Since the midnight stats were missed to export, maybe it will run up to 36 hours? At any rate, the 4 values that I import from their site, don't update but once per 24 hours. |

They certainly update at least two times a day, once in the morning, once in the evening (my time here), which pretty much coincides (with some daylight saving times differences) with time shortly before I usually leave the house and/or come back. And I got used to take a quick look at those updated stats, as anything "out of the usual" indicates that something with one of the projects I participate in is askew. That's what I noticed yesterday and hence my post when 3h after the usual update nothing from WCG had shown up yet...And the reply of knreed suggests that my hunch that something wasn't "as usual" was indeed correct...
