GrabPERF Outage – August 08-09 2008
In: GrabPERF
9 Aug 2008Between August 08 2008 18:00GMT and August 09 2008 03:00GMT, GrabPERF had a network-related outage at the hosting facility.
Many thanks to the Technorati team for working hard to resolve this complex issue, which eventually turned out to be a loose fiber-cable.
Data from the time period has been cut, so no one’s stats should be affected.

The Twitter Debate – YATPBP
In: GrabPERF| RANTING| Web Performance
31 May 2008Yes, it’s YATPBP (Yet Another Twitter Performance Blog Post).
About 10 days ago, I turned GrabPERF loose on Twitter. Now before you accuse this of crippling the service and bringing it to its knees, realize that GrabPERF simply requests a document over HTTP about two times a minute. No additional requests are made for images and [...]
New GrabPERF Measurement Locations
In: GrabPERF
11 Jan 2008I know that I have been bad at blogging news about GrabPERF, but today there is some. In the last two weeks, we have added two measurement locations: Washington DC AOL and Argentina LaNacion.
Thanks to Carson Evans of AOL, and Jose Falvo and Leonardo Lancellotta of LaNacion for helping out with the installation process.

mon.itor.us Outage
In: GrabPERF| Web Performance
5 Nov 2007mon.itor.us, a service which also provides free Web performance measurement services, appears to be having a wee problem.
The most recent GrabPERF data on this site is available here. The issue may be corrected by the time you look at the data.
I don’t wish suffering like this on anyone. GrabPERF had it’s own 3-4 day outage [...]

GrabPERF Return to Service
In: GrabPERF
20 Sep 2007GrabPERF returned to service at approximately 17:30 GMT (13:30 EDT — 10:30 PDT) September 20 2007. The database server was on all night, but an esoteric choice of primary interfaces (i.e. the least obvious one!) meant that it was taking to empty space.
Have fun and enjoy the data!

GrabPERF: Met with the Technorati Team
In: GrabPERF
28 Aug 2007Had an on-site meeting with Dorion Carroll and the Technorati team. We discussed some ways to extend and expand the GrabPERF infrastructure, and improve the measurement gathering.
