When a relay is in the overloaded state we show an amber dot next to the relay nickname.
Nice thing. This flag has noticed me a few days ago.
If you noticed your relay is overloaded, please check the following support article to find out how you can recover to a "normal" state:
https://support.torproject.org/relay-operators/relay-bridge-overloaded/A question about Enabling Metricsport. Is definitely Prometheus necessary? Or can the Metrics Port write into a LogFile / TextFile?
The output format is Prometheus but you don't need a prometheus server to get it.
Once opened, you can simply fetch it like this:
wget http://<IP_OF_METRICSPORT>:<METRICS_PORT>/metrics -O /tmp/output.txt
or
curl http://<IP_OF_METRICSPORT>:<METRICS_PORT>/metrics -o /tmp/output.txt
I've only ever gotten an empty reply when trying to extract metrics and I still do on Tor 4.6.7. I have some vague memory of the metrics previously only being for hidden services.
All the metrics mentioned in the overload guide[1] seem to be missing. Having a quick look at the Git repository, it seems that only 0.4.71-alpha and latest master contain the necessary changes for these metrics.
Is my assumption correct or am I doing something wrong?
Cordially, Andreas Kempe
