Congrats to the people who were involved. Not even one "Server is Busy" Message.

w00t ... not even lag :)

Ditto, MAJOR props to AustinChief and the Magic from Daface and Morphius. All is very appreciated! :thumb:

Nice work, guys. :thumb:

Between the BB and the picks, this day has been a great success.

Exactly, course there have been no Chiefs disasters either, thank goodness.

Agreed.

Nice work fellas. :toast:

I just make things look pretty, so don't thank me. :)

Well played gents!!

GREAT SUCCESS!!!

very smooth.:clap:

This server is a rockin. Great job guys.

In case anyone cares about stuff like this, here's how things performed yesterday.

Server load (number of processes waiting in queue):

I don't have any historical data from the old server, unfortunately, but I'm told that last year during games this graph would have been well above 4.0 the entire time. Not to mention that the new server has a dual-core processor (I think anyway), so it can handle higher loads without croaking.

Ping Response:

This one just tells how long it takes the server to respond to a generic request, but isn't that useful it determining actual response of the Planet, since that depends a lot on the database response time, too.

Lounge HTTP response time:

This one is probably the most meaningful. This is how long it took to actually load the Lounge. However, this is probably much faster than it happens for the average user due the fact that 1)most of our network connections aren't near as fast as the service I used to generate these graphs and 2)it doesn't load any graphics at all; it just transfers the raw HTML from the page and times how long it takes to get it.



Overall, it looks like the server got pretty stressed at times, but the actual response time didn't take a hit at all. Oddly, response time was pretty slow for around 20 minutes this morning between 7:45 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. CDT. Not sure about that one, but it doesn't seem to be load-related.

Anyway, just thought some of you might find this type of thing interesting.

It was refreshing, bravo.
My only complaint is having to keep re-logging in. Bet I did it at least a dozen times....

No guarantees it'll fix it, but in theory this little gizmo might help. The issue seems to be some screwy cookie setup, and this attempts to clear them all out in four different ways.

1. Log out of the Planet.
2. Go to that page and check every box. Sorry, there's no "select all."
3. Delete 'em all.
4. Close and reopen your browser, then log back in normally.

Let me know if it helps.

Very cool graphs DaFace. Very cool indeed. MRTG??

Thanks for all your hard work.
