From 0a5ecb334298187a64f58382231245111130aa76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: George Kadianakis Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2021 15:36:40 +0200 Subject: Implement backbone of overload statistics. - Implement overload statistics structure. - Implement function that keeps track of overload statistics. - Implement function that writes overload statistics to descriptor. - Unittest for the whole logic. --- changes/bug40222 | 6 +++ src/app/config/config.c | 1 + src/app/config/or_options_st.h | 3 ++ src/feature/relay/router.c | 6 +++ src/feature/stats/rephist.c | 116 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/feature/stats/rephist.h | 18 +++++++ src/test/test_stats.c | 109 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 259 insertions(+) create mode 100644 changes/bug40222 diff --git a/changes/bug40222 b/changes/bug40222 new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..8338ea4a7b --- /dev/null +++ b/changes/bug40222 @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ + o Major features (metrics): + - Introduce a new class of extra-info statistics that allows relays to + expose details of how overloaded they are.
