 > Awesome that you are looking into this Georg! I have the script running
 daily to generate the results on the website and I haven't run into the
 errors you saw. But your first patch makes sense to me and I applied it to
 master.

 live site, but I'm happy to try to help with any problems you might be
 running into.

 Thanks, you are welcome. The exit relay you specified is down, no? See:
 https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/7BD7B547676257EF147F5D5B7A5B15F840F4B579,
 so you need to pick another one, which my third patch does. Ideally, we
 would not hard-code a relay here as this breaks from time to time. (And
 broke for me, hence the patch) I guess a better solution would be to pick
 a proper exit relay from the relays you have been testing anyway before
 testing the non-exit-ones. But for now I don't see why you can't take my
 third patch, like how would it break the live site?

 For the second one, yeah, I can see it. If you like I can try to rewrite
 it in a way that better fits your needs.

 If you have some scripts to group the results given some parameters (like
 "all relays with a DNS error in 80% of the cases during the last n days")
 I'd be happy to hear about them it would probably smart to have some
 automated way for at least extracting all the info for bad-exit decisions.
