Hello Tor, hello world! Below you'll find the highlights of Tor metrics team work done in February 2018. On behalf of the Tor metrics team, Karsten Made Relay Search [1] a first class citizen of Tor Metrics by hosting it on metrics.torproject.org. [1] https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html Released Onionoo 5.0-1.10.0 [2] and .1 [3] which finally fixed broken bandwidth graphs on Relay Search for newer relays.

[4] https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2018-February/012967.html Deployed new metrics-bot badges for countries [5] and relays [6].

[7] https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2018-February/014444.html Released metrics-lib 2.2.0 and CollecTor 1.5.0 [8] which will allow sanitizing torproject.org web server logs once they are deployed. [8] https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2018-February/012959.html Created open mailing list metrics-alerts@ [9] for receiving automated notifications for Tor Metrics service-related alerts. [9] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/metrics-alerts Tuned metrics-web module advbwdist, by halving the processing time and reducing the necessary memory to about 25%, to keep it operational [10].
