Fight the Lag! - with metrics

Started by Jeshin, November 17, 2011, 09:00:31 AM

Ok, well if there was lag (not saying it wasn't), it appears to be different, as we aren't seeing the same symptoms in our server side as we were seeing before.

Just played for 4(ish) hours, didn't have any lag. Think the fix may be working!

Getting lag surges at the moment. It will be fine for a bit and then suddenly lag, fine for a bit, then some lag again. 11:38 EST.

Caught a lag last night for a couple of seconds, but then had a strange and awesome echo.. is the Lag because staff is tinkering with something?

I often hear the jingle to -Riunite on ice- when I read the estate name Reynolte, eve though there ain't no ice in Zalanthas.

Probably important to run tracert's with new lag to confirm whether or not it's system or network lag.

Terrible lag and disconnects for the last quarter of an hour or so. 4pm Gmt, 11am EST I think.

I was having problems also with lag and connectivity.

If you experience a lag, please include a tracert to ginka in your post.  Looking over the last two reports I am unable to correlate it to issues that we were seeing earlier.

Tried it in my client and and it didn't work.  :-[

Which prompt?

search for cmd.exe if you're using windows.

terminal, on mac.

I think you confused your mud prompt with command prompt.

Click your window's button (if you're using windows) then go to all programs, and under accessories you should see the command prompt.

Open it and then you can >tracert.

EDIT: Or better yet, do what Delirium said and search for cmd or terminal. After I figured out tracert, I don't think my lag is ginka, because the ginka.armageddon.org is only about ~47 milliseconds. Maybe it's our connections.

EDIT EDIT: My lag is, indeed, on my side. :/

Hokay thanks. Next question, is there a way to copy it or do you have to write it out by hand? It won't let me copy the usual ways.


Select all, then copy it. It's a pain but it's the only way.

I just went through the logs for the 6pm EST hour yesterday and didn't see anything that would indicate it from our side.  Did you try a tracert?
