Moving home - advice please

[will.topping]

Im going to move home in 2 weeks. Can anyone clarify if the downtime penalty has been implemented now? I’m trying to decide if i should run GE on all my nodes now or if the downtime moving home will not get me disqualified.

Im not sure how long the downtime will be, lets assume 24 hours.

I have an update for you. The storage node dashboard API contains a new uptime score. By default it is 1 aka 100%. It is not visible on the storage node dashboard. The score gets updated via audits. The currenty default settings are: # The length of time to give suspended SNOs to diagnose and fix issues causing downtime. Afterwards, they will have one tracking period to reach the minimum online score before disqualification # overlay.audit-history.grace-period: 168h0m0s # The point below whi…

To compensate that we are starting with a fairly high tollerance. 0.6 means a storage node can be offline up to 288 hours in a month (best case with many audits and high accuracy). Worst case 36 times one minute offline time and bad luck that the satellite was sending only 1 audit every 12 hours and hits 36 times exactly that one minute.

What happens if a storage node is not getting 1 audit every 12 hours? If the audit history is not filled with at least one data point every 12 hours for the full 30 day periode the score will stay at 1 and ignore all downtimes. I would call it a bug and not a feature. The idea is that unvetted nodes are not getting suspended. We want to fill them with enough data first to be able to make a fair judgment. That idea is great but it is currently implemented to early in the process. The score should be updated but suspension shouldn’t kick it. An unvetted nodes should see the impact and correct its behavior. Currenlty I would expect to see a score of 1 for most of the nodes even if they had downtime. It will take 30 days before the first nodes might see the real score.

Penalties aren’t live yet, though I usually recommend to act as if they are. Even so, if they are live you can still recover from up to a week of downtime. It would just take a while to get out of suspension.
Basically when you get suspended you get a week to solve the problem, the month after that week your node will be under review and only if at the end of that month your node is still not meeting uptime requirements will you get permanently disqualified.
You have to pretty majorly screw up to get to that point.
