Re: A tool for getting information out of the Quipu logfiles

[Paul Barker <[e-mail]>]

Roland,

   I am sorry that I couldn't be in Houston to hear your report.  However, I
have read Glenn's expeditious minutes and saw a report of what you said.  On
availability there is the line:

* Some 50% is working very badly while the other 50% are working very well.

I can offer a slightly different view.  The DE interface collects stats of
information availability and response times.  The view from the central
PARADISE service is as follows (and this is a sample of about 70% of the
pilot).  

The figures have to be analysed with a degree of caution as it is
hard to compare like with like.  A successful search means that a search was
made under an organisation without getting a DS error, although there may
not have been any results: a stub organisation entry.  A failure means 
that there should be a DSA containing entries for OUs/people/etc but 
it could not be contacted.

Success               Fails

Of course, information availability is no use in itself if it can 
only be achieved "not in our lifetime".  Performance figures soon when 
I have got some bugs out of the way I am gathering and processing the figures.
