Georg,
Are there any "Issues" submitted for a similar change to Concensus Weight and Relay Probability to Tor Metrics on Onionoo? It appears these values are still only being reported for a Single Tor Node.
Hrm, good question. I don't think so and I am not sure yet, whether we
should make such a change.
Do you mind me asking what the reluctance might be to extending Tor Metrics to include correct reporting of Concensus Weight and Relay Probability for Loadbalanced Tor Relays? It would provide a more accurate assessment of Tor Network Resources and assist DirectoryAuthorities in making more informed decisions.
There is no real reluctance here on my side. It's just that I don't have thought about yet what kind of extra work it would involve and what the pros and cons of that actually are.
I would be happy to open an "Issue" on the topic for official Request For Consideration.
Yes, please do. I think https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/metrics/relay-search is a good project to file the issue and have some discussion and context in and then we can open child tickets in other projects in case we need to do work somewhere else as well to make your request happen.
Thank you and the Tor Metrics Team for all that you do in improving the Tor Network.
You are welcome! Thanks for running relays.
Georg

Georg, Yes! That is precisely it! Please know that the change appears to be working with my loadbalanced Tor Relay deployment as well.

A BIG Thank You to the Tor Metrics Team for the Issue-40022 implementation.
You are welcome. It seems, though, the implementation was not correct. We therefore reverted it for now. However, we are on it. :)

David, Has Tor Metrics implemented your RFC related to Written Bytes per Second and Read Bytes per Second on Onionoo?
That's probably

, no?

As of the 27th of February, I've noticed a change in reporting that accurately reflects the aggregate of my Tor Relay Nodes opposed to the previously reported Single Tor Node. Are you seeing a similar change for snowflake.torproject.org? Additionally, other than the hourly stacktrace errors in the syslog, the secure_onion_key workaround seems to be working well without any ill side-effects. I've been able to operate with the same secure_onion_key for close to 5 weeks, now. Have you run into any issues? Thank you for your response. Respectfully,

David, Excellent Documentation and References! I hope the proposed RFC's (auth, key, and metrics) for loadbalanced Tor topologies are seriously considered and implemented by Tor Core and Tor Metrics. Great Work! Respectfully,

The load-balanced Snowflake bridge is running in production since 2022-01-31. Thanks Roger, Gary, Roman for your input.
Hopefully reproducible installation instructions: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/team/-/wikis/Survival-Guid... Observations since: https://bugs.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowfla...
Metrics graphs are currently confused by multiple instances of tor uploading descriptors under the same fingerprint. Particularly in the interval between 2022-01-25 and 2022-02-03, when a production bridge and staging bridge were running in parallel, with four instances being used and another four being mostly unused. https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/5481936581E23D2D178105D44DB69... https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-bridge-transport.html?start=2021-11... Since 2022-02-03, it appears that Metrics is showing only one of the four running instances per day. Because all four instances are about equally used (as if load balanced, go figure), the values on the graph are 1/4 what they should be. The reported bandwidth of 5 MB/s is actually 20 MB/s, and the 2500 clients are actually 10000. All the necessary data are present in Collector, it's just a question of data processing. I opened an issue for the Metrics graphs, where you can also see some manually made graphs that are closer to the true values. https://bugs.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/metrics/onionoo/40022
