May statistics

PMAS statistics for May
Total messages    : 3690 = 100.0 o/o
DNS Blacklisted   : 2500 =  67.7 o/o (Files: 32)
Relay attempts    :   45 =   1.2 o/o (Files: 25)
Processed by PMAS : 1145 =  31.0 o/o (Files: 32)
        Discarded :  371 =  32.4 o/o (processed),  10.0 o/o (all)
     Quarantained :  442 =  38.6 o/o (processed),  11.9 o/o (all)
        Delivered :  332 =  28.9 o/o (processed),   8.9 o/o (all)

Again, about 70 is skipped right away, and only 9% is delivered. 16 messages slipped the check and made it to SMTP that filtered the out.
I had a day and a half that there seemed to be no blocked, discarded or quarantained messages, for some reason PMAs just stopped noting them. That is: there must have been such messages but these were simply not added to the database, until the configuration was reloaded (due to enabling debug…), after which they did appear again. Even after disabling debug.
So there may heve been a bit more blocked, discarded or quarantained….

MySQL has had it’s troubles this month, probably by the attention drawn by the Bootcamp 2008 blog:

As can be seen, the majority of crashes occurred during and immediately after the bootcamp (Ian Miller set a link on OpenVMS.org). All load on Diana has gone up and remains at that level up to this moment. Following are the different graphs by Hyperspy; the gap in the beginning of the month has to do with a wrong definition of the logical pointing to the Hyperspy root directory – due to a rerun of the script starting it all. You can see the load increases dramatically on May 14th and stays high from that time on:

CPU load:
CPU load May
Memory usage:

Pagefaults:
Pagefaultrate in May
Processes:

Buffered IO:

Direct IO

(The big hump on May 27th coincides with MySQL problems thaty day, and it may have to do with uploading a lot of data)

As for FTP, only thee were found in oeraror logs this month (searched from the saved files):

There were a few more but these were ‘known accesses’ – getting data that was too much to send by e-mail.

All logs have been archived.
