Hi all.

I see in the documentation OONI will upload the findings to a hidden service using the installed Tor client, but I'm unable to find when this happens.

It happens in the moment you start running a test. You can disable this behavior by using the -n option. Otherwise every time a measurement is run (that is part of your test), a report entry will be written on the remote ooniprobe collector. For an idea of this protocol you can read this spec: https://gitweb.torproject.org/ooni/spec.git/blob/HEAD:/oonib.md

Is this after the probe has completed?

It is during the probe is running the test, so even if you kill it at a certain point something was written.

My result files are over 120MB in size, can I see the transfer progress?

There is currently no way to monitor transfer progress, but in general it will have completed by the end of the test. No new measurements will be scheduled until the report entry has been written.

Is there a way to kick this process off manually?

You can use the oonireport tool (part of ooniprobe >= 1.2.0). You can run: $ oonireport status To see which reports have been submitted and which not. If you run it with "upload" it will upload them to a collector. $ oonireport upload With -c you can specify the collector to submit the report to.

I have added the daily cron job as stated in the docs, but wanted to get more info.
