[tor-project] October 2018 report and November 2018 plans for the metrics team



Hello Tor, hello world!

Below you'll find the highlights of Tor metrics team work done in
October 2018 as well as a few expected highlights for the current month,
November 2018.

On behalf of the Tor metrics team,
Karsten


October 2018:

Added a new graph to Tor Metrics that compares total consensus weights
across bandwidth authorities [1, 2].

 [1] https://metrics.torproject.org/totalcw.html
 [2] https://bugs.torproject.org/25459

Extended the graphs on Tor Browser downloads by platform [3] and by
locale [4] to also show Tor Browser update pings [5].

 [3] https://metrics.torproject.org/webstats-tb-platform.html
 [4] https://metrics.torproject.org/webstats-tb-locale.html
 [5] https://bugs.torproject.org/27931

Worked towards extending metrics-web's ipv6servers module to cover
existing statistics on relays by flags/versions/platforms [6]. The goal
is to replace some really old code and to prepare creating new graphs on
relays by consensus weight and bridges by versions/platforms.

 [6] https://bugs.torproject.org/28116

Deployed changes to streamline percentile computation in various
metrics-web modules to now use Apache Commons Math rather than custom
implementations [7].

 [7] https://bugs.torproject.org/26035

Released CollecTor 1.8.0 [8] with some minor fixes and improved logging
to hopefully track down an issue where we were missing server descriptors.

 [8] https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2018-October/013493.html

Improved monitoring of Onionoo uptime and freshness [9]

[9] https://bugs.torproject.org/28271


November 2018:

Start rewriting the CollecTor module that archives relay descriptors in
Python using Stem as proof of concept. This is part of our Sponsor 13
work [10].

 [10] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/sponsors/Sponsor13

Review and deploy the extended ipv6servers metrics-web module to replace
major portions of the old legacy module [11].

 [11] https://bugs.torproject.org/28116

Find a Metrics Data Architect as third full-time member of the metrics
team. The job description [12] will soon be distributed by the usual
channels and also linked from the Tor Metrics website.
