Re: [tor-relays] Guard failing large amount of circuits
Hello Tor-Relays members,
I'm new to running a relay. (I've read the last 2 months archives of this list.)
Started about a week ago, and have run 4 versions. Now on 0.2.4.17-rc.
Running on a low power CPU, so I'm keeping a fairly close watch on it, trying to figure out what 'normal' behavior/footprint is, which is difficult since as I understand the network is in 'normal' condition.
Anyway, regarding failing circuits, I don't know if this is related, but it is still an anomaly: (timestamps are CET)

Sep 07 17:51:28.000 [notice] Tor 0.2.4.17-rc (git-00fb525b23cf070f) opening log file.
Sep 07 17:58:48.000 [notice] Circuit handshake stats since last time: 59959/60002 TAP, 63/63 NTor.
For all of those entries, where it says X/Y TAP, X is between 99% and 100% of Y. Except for 15:59 (only 48%) and 16:59 (89%). During that same period, I also have a dramatic spike in CPU usage. After that it goes back to almost 100%.

Most likely this means the Tor network is overloaded, but it could also mean an attack against you or potentially the guard itself. Success counts are 52/151. Use counts are 0/0. 52 circuits completed, 0 were unusable, 0 collapsed, and 1 timed out. For reference, your timeout cutoff is 142 seconds.
