Indeed, there are many tools that analyze consensus files. The CollecTor website lists a few applications: https://collector.torproject.org/#references If you want to write your own tool to analyze consensus files, take a look at the available descriptor-parsing libraries: https://collector.torproject.org/#libraries Also feel free to search the metrics-tasks Git repo for examples: https://gitweb.torproject.org/metrics-tasks.git > Also, AFAIK, collecTor is just the website [4]. CollecTor has "raw" collected Tor descriptors (including consensuses), Metrics [5] has aggregate statistics based on these descriptors. Or, CollecTor is for machines, Metrics is for humans. > [1] > https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob_plain/refs/heads/master:/proposals/140-consensus-diffs.txt > > [2] https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2014-May/006792.html > [2b] https://github.com/mvdan/tor > [3] https://github.com/moba/tormap > [4] https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2014-June/006942.html > > > On 2014-08-13 21:01, Virgil Griffith wrote: >> And just to be pedantically clear, the data on metrics.torproject.org is >> computed from the collecTor historical consensus files?

This really depends on what differences you're interested in and how you want them to be highlighted.
