Tor statistics in syslog

 · Systeemkabouter

Tor started emitting some daily statistics via syslog some time ago. This is a nice thing because other than looking at the network traffic statistics I really had no clue to how much work it was doing.

Jul 16 00:14:36 tor-exit-node02 Tor[16355]: Heartbeat: Tor's uptime is 1 day 17:59 hours, with 94 circuits open. I've sent 163.60 GB and received 161.32 GB.
Jul 16 00:14:36 tor-exit-node02 Tor[16355]: Circuit handshake stats since last time: 377/377 TAP, 3076/3076 NTor.
Jul 16 00:14:36 tor-exit-node02 Tor[16355]: Since startup, we have initiated 0 v1 connections, 0 v2 connections, 0 v3 connections, and 153 v4 connections; and received 50 v1 connections, 306 v2 connections, 2978 v3 connections, and 100066 v4 connections.

Oh and number of abuse reports on this node this far : one.
