Subject: [Boxbackup-dev] Connection statistics NET_IN patch?
Message-ID: <CAL5zbj9HqcZjWT9CXCNCPsxX_yyOx=tjz-GZQwVQh-X8SN1eCw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Chris,

One of the methods I use from the server side to confirm that my
clients are backing up, is to look at the "Connection statistics"
"IN=" values.  For large clients, though, the IN value can be quite
large, even though no significant number of files are being backed up.
 I'm guess that is because the Client and Server are just exchanging
long listings of files.

Here is an example from my log:
Jul 29 15:46:49 srv bbstored client=0x99999999[7083]: NOTICE:
Connection statistics for BACKUP-99999999: IN=110 OUT=1534
Jul 29 19:49:30 srv bbstored client=0x99999999[7959]: NOTICE: Login

Jul 30 03:52:53 srv bbstored client=0x99999999[9562]: NOTICE: Login

Jul 30 03:53:03 srv bbstored client=0x99999999[9562]: NOTICE:
Connection statistics for BACKUP-99999999: IN=89 OUT=653

All of the action for that client happened at Jul 29 23:50:19.  You
can see I cut several strings from the default output already; my next
step was to replace "IN=.*OUT.*\ " with the result of the calculation
of "IN minus OUT"--if that number is large > 0, then some significant
backup is happening.)

I was about to add some code to my daily test script to do that
calculation, but thought something like this (see the +++) might be
acceptable for the masses:

In:   http://www.boxbackup.com/trac/browser/box/chris/general/bin/bbstored/BackupStoreDaemon.cpp?rev=1855
355	        BOX_INFO("Connection statistics for " << commonName << ":"
356	                " IN="  << s.GetBytesRead() <<
357	                " OUT=" << s.GetBytesWritten() <<
+++	                " NET_IN=" << (s.GetBytesRead() - s.GetBytesWritten()) <<
358	                " TOTAL=" << (s.GetBytesRead() + s.GetBytesWritten()));

What do you think?

Thanks,
Pete

Well, it works for me, I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you.

But this might have something to do with it.

This is what I have too. Could you check whether "#define 
OPENSSL_CPUID_OBJ" appears in your crypto/opensslconf.h file?

It could be that OpenSSL was at some point configured for NO_ASM, and 
mem.obj was built with that setting, which creates a dependency on the 
_cleanse_ctr symbol which you have but I don't. You could try:

   nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak clean
   nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak

and see if it then builds correctly.

Cheers, Chris.

Sorry, that one is my fault, please update to latest svn and run win32.bat 
again.

I've moved on, but I'm long-term interested in compiling Box Backup on
Windows.  I think there are 3 compiling environment options on the
table:
#1.  Using MS Visual C++ 2010 Express
#2.  Using MinGW.
#3.  Using MinGW in Cygwin.
I guess I'm not really interested in investing any more time in #1 for
political and hassle reasons.  I have no preference between #2 or #3.
But I could be swayed by you.  No rush--I look forward to your input,
Charles!

Thanks!
Pete

#1 is the only one likely to ever support VSS, since the necessary COM 
interfaces aren't sufficiently documented by Microsoft to create a working 
interoperable set of headers for free compilers.

Cheers, Chris.

Ugh...

So, would compiling with #1 mean that if one wanted to use VSS, one
wouldn't need to download
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=23490
to create a temporary or non-persistent snapshot before each sync,
perhaps with a cmd/batch file a la
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb530726(v=vs.85).aspx#accessing_nonpersistent_shadow_copies

I see now that Visual C++ 2010 Express is no cost, but requires
registration.  Downloading now on my new Win7 laptop....

Thanks, Chris,
Pete

Express has a number of problems, not least of which is no x64 support.

Once I get my branch merged back into trunk I plan to create regular
builds - signed exes, MSI installer, x86 and x64.

Until then, if you go the Express route I can only wish you luck ;-)

Are you sure there's no x64 support? I thought I saw options for it in the 
target architecture for the C++ compiler, didn't try it though.

Are you happy to merge yourself or can I be of any assistance?

Hi Chris,

Looks like qdbm/ is missing from the distribution generator.

I guess it needs to be added under the 'LICENSE none' section, but not
sure whether it should go in the common or boxbackup distribution file.

I'll see about adding a check to the CI system to build the distribution
too.

Yes, that's correct, it has built-in support for VSS, but it's highly 
experimental and the only test report I've received so far is that it 
crashes, although it works for me and I haven't figured out why it 
crashes for him yet.

Did the check fix solve the problem? Have you had any recurrence since?

Cheers, Chris.

Hi Chris,

Sorry for not getting back earlier, but yes, it seemed to do the trick.

IIRC, I had one more (possibly unrelated) incident of an exception 
later, which was remedied by a trunk check fix as well. Sorry for not 
reporting that, since in hindsight it might have been helpful for 
preventing corruptions later on, but it was late at night, and it was 
fixed immediately.

Worth noting, however, is that whenever I reboot the client machine that 
holds that specific account, I will get a backup-error email - the cause 
of which I cannot pinpoint in the logs, but will get a backup-ok email 
shortly afterwards, so it might just be caused by some or other service 
being started prematurely. That said, however, the backup-ok email 
actually says that there is an error, instead of saying what I believe 
it means, that there was a successful backup, immediately following a 
previous error?

Cheers,

Sune

OK, if you see it again, or anything like it, please let us know.

What exactly does the email say? What does your notify script say about 
backup-error?

That's odd. It should not report anything at all for a backup-ok event. 
What does the notify script say about backup-ok? Did you upgrade from a 
previous version of Box Backup and keep your old notify script?

Cheers, Chris.
