Smolt right now isn't a heartbeat... it doesn't ping out often enough to be useful for doing moving averages, and on top of that i don't know if it makes since for live instances. What i want if I can get it is a heartbeat which starts at boot up and then pings a url at 6 hour intervals. Each live spin would ping a specific url, and all harddrive installed systems would ping a common arch specific url. We do a moving average of the aggregate pings and we'll get a much better idea of the number of nat'd systems. And if we do it right I can even estimate a NAT'd system multiplier based on the statistics of intervals between pings over time from the same ip address...and at no point do I expose any individual ip addresses in the resulting output. I'm doing this sort of stuff now using the mirrorlist hits, but i'm pretty sure yum-updates is used by 1% of the base. -jef -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
