Hi, I'm running a relay node [1], and it's been up for a few days over 68 days. I was thinking it would get the guard flag around then. It has yet to get the flag or have non-zero guard probability. Any idea why that is? Or what I could do to get it to be a guard?

Thanks, G

Looking at the uptime graph, I would guess that having it up most of the time would help (It was up only 93.31% of the time over the last month)
Advertised/Measured bandwidth is too low. Only the top XX% (I think 10-20%, I don't remember off-hand) of nodes (by bandwidth) are eligible to become guard nodes. At the moment, that works out that your node needs to have at least ~2MBps bandwidth to be be eligible for the guard flag.

Ah, okay. I try to keep it up all the time, but it's a home computer, so there are times it gets rebooted or the internet connection goes out.

That explains it, thanks. Related question. arm often reports throughput around 1 Mbit/s. Why is my "measured" bandwidth only 110 Kbit/s on blutmagie.de? (My connection is advertised as 10 Mbit and always gets over 1 Mbit). https://torstatus.blutmagie.de/router_detail.php?FP=741488d89b860e59d6391aca...

You are mixing up your units.
Arm shows Bits, Blutmagie Bytes.

This is true.
Only the top XX% (I think 10-20%, I don't remember off-hand) of nodes (by bandwidth) are eligible to become guard nodes. At the moment, that works out that your node needs to have at least ~2MBps bandwidth to be be eligible for the guard flag.
It's actually the top quartile (25%), and everybody with 2000 units of consensus weight or more gets it.
Currently the top 25% is faster than 2000 units, so that means in practice more than 25% of the relays are eligible for the Guard flag.
