Your server dropped below the cutoff line for a few hours, but only a few, and note that whatever problem was affecting it Tuesday seems to have cleared up. Note also that the monitoring is done from North America (California, I think), and that hosts with poor connectivity (high - or variable - latency, or packet loss) to North America may appear less suitable on the status graphs than they actually are. (Or at least that's how it was last time I recall seeing it discussed on the list; I'm sure someone who knows more will step in and correct me if I've got it wrong.) > What makes me even more curious is this graph: [193.87.160.18's > offset graph] > Sine wave? Is that normal thing? Should that mean something for me? Well, as I said, I'm no expert, but that looks very odd to me. It must mean _something_, but I've been unable to come up with even wild speculation for what, unless you can find something in the host's environment that is oscillating on a 7-hour-20-minute cycle. Note also that the glitch at the Tue/Wed boundary is a glitch in not just amplitude but also phase. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
