Small Grant: SiaGraph #2

Progress Report for May

Apologies for the delay in this report.

This past month has brought some change to SiaGraph. First of all, a new Host Troubleshooter has been released, including a subscription service to alert hosts when issues appear.

After the release, I’ve been flooded with feedback and feature requests. Which has made me think about the future of SiaGraph.

I envision SiaGraph as a tool for the community, to help hosts and renters better understand the network. The plans for renter stats were more focused on developers (including the Foundation), such as:

  • Overall performance and resource usage of a renter (comparing SQLite/MySQL)
  • Log file analysis

Because of this I’ve unfortunately decided to cancel the current plans of renter stats. As the target audience can probably do a better job in house that fits their specific purpose.

I’d love to include other interesting stats about renting, and I’m open to suggestions.

What progress was made on your grant this month?

  • Released the Host troubleshooter and a host alerting service. Commit
  • Reworked the host page clearing up some static code and fully supporting V2 hosts.Commit
  • Made some misc website improvements, including improvements on mobile.

Summarize any problems that you ran into this month and how you’ll be solving them.

Some data required for the financial API endpoints are still missing in some of the Explored API endpoints. I can’t finalize my planned financial stats without them, but I should be able to work around that for now.

What will you be working on next?

  • Continue working on financial API endpoints
  • Tweak the alerting system based on feedback
