Hi.
Now that our wiki (mwiki) runs smoothly and performs quite well, it is
slowly time to take a look at our other services.
In order to determine what should/can be done, I need some figures.
Can anybody help me with traffic figures for
wiki.o.o, forum.o.o (total for the vm not per language) and www.o.o
Does end-users download directly from www.o.o or from a secondary site ?
I need the following numbers (if possible):
- daily number of clicks (average)
- peak number of clicks within a short period like 1 hour
From Google Analytics we have:
For wiki: around 33K page views/day
For forums, I have no idea. They are using a Google Analytics account (
UA-1087265-8) that is not connected with the rest of the website. If that
could be updated to match the rest of the website we'd have typical numbers
in a week.
Thanks for your answers, but I am a bit scared you (as a PMC) tell me
"they" use an account unknown to us. Who has the forum account ?
I have the technical power to change it (sudo access) but if a PMC tell we
do no know who owns it, it would not be right just to change it. Who but
the "owner" can authorize a change ?
I trust this is a misunderstanding somewhere, it cannot be that we run a
service, that we do not control, in the sense of change management.
For the website as a whole (all subdomains tracked) it is around 730K/day
for a peak day. If you subtract out the forum traffic and the downloads
(which serviced by SourceForge) then the static website is probably more
like 600K/day visits.
Why do I need to subtract forum, I thought they ran as a separate dns ? do
we not count on basis of our template (that loads the GA account).
So that indirectly answers your other question -- the big download files
are from the SourceForge distribution network. But we do have smaller
downloads, of documentation PDF's. These are mainly from the wiki.
In terms of peaks, our biggest day usually Wednesday, lowest on Sunday.
The variation there around 200K/visits.
Super just what I need.
Hourly peak is around 15K visits for all tracked subdomains together.
Do you know the division between mwiki, forum and www ?
Note: for all of these I'm talking about "pages", where a single page
could include several HTTP calls, for the HTML, the Javascript, images,
etc. Since anyone with Javascript not enabled would not register, the
actual numbers are probably a little bit higher than this.
Good point, that is very important for a a traffic server, where e.g.
javascripts would be cached.
I am trying to convince Infra, that we should have a common trafficserver
for wiki and forum (and maybe www). Currently we use eresbus as proxy, and
all packets are forwarded to the ooo-wiki2-vm where that trafficserver
filters cached pages. Forum goes direct to httpd, so every packet causes
mysql activity. If we had a trafficserver in eresbus, we would for wiki2
save loads of network traffic and for forum network traffic as well as
mysql activity.
In any case, one approach would be to enable GA for the Forums, track that
for a week or two and then compare that to the Wiki numbers. If the stacks
are similar, then we could think of the traffic ratio between the two and
tune based on that.
I agree, but not being PMC, I do not feel I am in the position to "just"
make that change. Who "owns" the forum, they should authorize such a
change. I can make the change (provided you tell give me the GA line to
insert) when I am sure I am not doing a change that someone else depend on.
I would like to tune at least forum before we release 4.0 to prepare for
a
higher load. Tuning of www depend on a discussion with infra, because it
is
a shared service.
If it is like the release of 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 we'll get a few hot pages:
1) The announcement blog post. With both 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 releases these
were heavily linked to by the press. Roller went down in the 3.4.1 case.
I don't know if that was due to the traffic or not. But we might want to
plan on having the announcement post be a static webpage just to be sure.
The blog post is on the general apache server and not our www, is that
correct ?
2) The homepage and http://www.openoffice.org/download page will be hot.
You can see from the download chart the boost we get when a new release
occurs: http://www.openoffice.org/stats/downloads.html (AOO 3.4.0 was
May
8th 2012 and AOO 3.4.1 was Aug 23rd).
That is a real obvious case for trafficserver, and until it is in place I
can ask to have the httpd use memcached (which it might be already).
Currently the www is on a general apache server, so I need strong arguments
to make changes (high load is a strong argument)
Translate-vm also needs tunings, but that is in progress, and infra has
been very kind and prepared an extra vm, so we/I install/tune without
affecting the active system.
thx in advance for figures.

THANKS a lot for your answer, which help me a lot doing calc.. Sorry for
being frank about the forum, but it really make me nervous that we have a
service where part it unknown.
