Most of the old Cowboy II web pages now redirect you to the new web site. I am no longer updating the old pages, but if you bookmarked specific graphs, they are still there.
The new stats site is located at:
http://idk.serveftp.net/cowboy/cowboyisapi.dll
Use the contest combo boxes to select the set of stats you want to see.
On the entry page, select the name of the person you wish to view (the herd).
All grids allow sorting of the data by clicking on the blue grid headers:
The column names are similar to the old Cowboy Stats Server page.
Hostname: the name of the workstation (cow), or its alias. I can rename your cow’s hostname, as it appears on the stats pages. If you have an actual hostname like topsecretname, I can have it show up as reallyboringname in the stats pages.
Heath: Green = healthy, Yellow = sick, Red=dead
Health Reason = reason for poor health or death
Peak = highest OGR or RC5 rate seen in your logs for the last 90 days
Average = the actual average rate of the cow, calculated as the number of work units accepted by the distributed.net key server. This number drops if you don’t run your cow 24/7, or if the cow is very busy doing non-contest related work.
Eff% = The cow’s efficiency, measured as: (Peak / Average) * 100
Last Log: Date and time (UTC) of the last log sent to the Cowboy Stats Server
Logs/Day: The number of logs per day this cow sent to the Cowboy Stats Sever. More than 10 per day affects the speed of your cow. Please adjust your mail-log-max value in dnetc.ini if you see this error. You typically need to double the number found there. The Cowboy Stats Server averages this logs/day number over 2 weeks.
Last Server: The last date/time (UTC) this cow sent/received work from the distributed.net key server.
Last Ckhpnt: The last date/time this cow was improperly shut down and restarted
Client: The version of the distributed.net client the cow is running, if known
OS: The operating system of the cow
CPU: The CPU type of the cow
Cores: The number of CPU cores, if known. If a cow has multiple physical CPUs, each with multiple cores, then this number should reflect that. Example: A dual CPU, Core-2 Quad will show up as 8 cores. I am working on this number for CUDA clients that have something like 64-128 cores.
Log: A link to the raw cow log.
For people with large herds (more than 10 cows currently), there is a “Prev” and “Next” button to view pages of 10 cows. Click these buttons to view other pages of cow stats:
I am currently working on the menus found at the tops of the various stats pages. Yes, I know they don’t work yet. Stay tuned for lots more stats and graphs.
Please add comments here with any bug reports and suggestions.
Enjoy!
