Re: [tor-relays] Tor relay occasionally maxing out CPU usage

To me it sounds like there isn't actually a problem. This is the way Tor works now (now == since consensus diffs were added). It's unfortunate that Tor isn't more multithreaded, so much happens in the same main loop, and client throughput is momentarily impacted, but that's the way it is and there

[tor-relays] Tor relay - hardware upgrade and "Observed bandwidth" not changed

Hello, I recently upgraded the hardware of my Tor relay and the "Advertised Bandwith" did not change. https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/pelote :9001 > Bandwidth rate: 1024 MiB/s > Bandwidth burst: 1024 MiB/s > Observed bandwidth: 5.46 MiB/s :9101 > Bandwidth rate: 1024 MiB/s > Band

Re: [tor-relays] Tor relay occasionally maxing out CPU usage

Another thing, from the change-log: - Update the message logged on relays when DirCache is disabled. Since 0.3.3.5-rc, authorities require DirCache (V2Dir) for the Guard flag. Fixes bug 24312; bugfix on 0.3.3.5-rc. If I understand this correctly, my relay would no longer be a Guard if I choos

Re: [tor-relays] Tor relay occasionally maxing out CPU usage

Okay, so your suspicion was just confirmed: consdiffmgr_rescan_flavor_(): The most recent ns consensus is valid-after 2020-05-19T15:00:00. We have diffs to this consensus for 0/25 older ns consensuses. Generating diffs for the other 25. Right after, diffs were compressed with zstd and lzma, causi

Re: [tor-relays] Tor relay occasionally maxing out CPU usage

Dear Alexander, I have added 'Log [dirserv]info notice stdout' to my configuration and will be monitoring the system closely. Tor was also upgraded to version 0.4.3.5, and the linux kernel was upgraded to version 5.6.13 but I do not think this will change anything. Expect a follow-up within the
