[clamav-users] Latest report on update "delays"

Thu Oct 4 22:27:14 UTC 2018

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the update.

I am interested to know how freshclam in ClamAV 0.100.2 performs for you.  I have made some tweaks to make it ignore mirrors for less time, but more importantly I implemented a change to have it report "up to date" in the event that the signature version provided by the mirror is 1 behind what was advertised.  My hope is that this alleviates the issue.

Respectfully,
Micah

At Joel's suggestion, i have changed our sampling rate looking for ClamAV cvd updates from 15 minutes down to 1 minute. This gives a more precise  measurement of how long it takes for the cvd file(s) to actually become available from Cloudflare after its presence is "advertised" by the CNS TXT record.

Since these measurements are mainly useful for tuning the ClamAV servers, I won't in the future post them to clamav-users unless others besides the ClamAV team find them useful. (Maybe they should go to the clamav-developers list?)

In any case, here is the latest log of delays. Note that these more precisely measured delays are not explained as mere 15-minute quantization errors.

 2018-10-02 09:18:02  No delay
 2018-10-02 17:18:02  No delay
 2018-10-03 01:31:02  00:13:00 delay

 2018-10-03 17:52:02  00:33:59 delay
 2018-10-04 01:18:02  No delay
