running relay excluded from votes
Hello, my relay 69D9FF1BE14B9AE77701A6BCBC075FF837F5AFF9 (darkmatter) disappeared from all votes (and hence from the consensus) starting today at the voting for valid after 07:00:00. Any explanation for this behavior? There is nothing unusual in the relay's logs and there was no reboot today. In my opinion it's strange that a relay suddenly disappears from the votes. If I got it right, usually an authority votes for "not running" if a relay can't be reached for some reason. But ALL votes excluded my relay starting today at seven am. Would like to understand what happened... Bye, Dark
It happens from time to time (don't know why), usually waiting a bit helps. looks like it's back: https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health-2018-03-10-10-00.ht... Regards On Sat, 10 Mar 2018 at 10:49 Dark Matter <tor-relay@gmx.net> wrote:

I've filed a ticket for what I think is the root cause: https://trac.torproject.org/25685 There is indeed a bandaid in place so that relays generally recover from this situation, but hopefully we can do even better. --Roger
