The main stats page says "The domains report is disabled currently". Does anyone know how long it will be until it is available again? This is the main purpose I hvae for using OpenDNS.
-
I'm having the same problem. Mine shows that report as disabled, too.

As do I. I put in an e-mail, haven't heard anything back yet. -
We have not yet set an ETA. Realize that's frustrating, but it's still a moving target.
-
Any update on this?

I manage a school peer to peer network and use OpenDNS. It was fantastic when I started the school year as I was able to monitor what the kids were trying to access from home and block sites or domains accordingly. For the past several months this has not been an option since reports have been down. I don't care if it was not the fastest or even if it lagged behind real-time, it at least gave me an important tool to keep the kids and the computers safe. Now I have to manually check each computers history to see what needs to be blocked. Please give me the tool back, in any shape or form, it is better than nothing.Thankful People: qaakhq85zxwhknflzts9, unoriginal, binaryspiral, johnsonair, sts950, riffraf, lukeadmin, noorfam, Huy Tran, avtar, tomdlgns, liddlefeesh, lynchie, nate_smrs, kidchameleon, platcomm, cditty, skledarg, jackol, ninefour, bgastro, dicconb, threyn, Jake, infiniteit, sadlierdns

I also use the Domain report (like kbeebe) to monitor the surfing habits of my users. This allows me to blacklist websites and submit these sites to the proper categories. Without the Domain report, I'm unable to do this.Thankful People: qaakhq85zxwhknflzts9 -

"why cant we have the old stats until the new stats are fully implemented?"
They were too slow and causing problems.
6 Billion + DNS queries are made a day.. its a lot of stats to run and present.
So therefore, they are basically "Rebuilding" the way stats work, so it will be faster. -
Let's put things in perspective for everyone, even non-technical people...hopefully. Let's say each entry in the stats contains the Date, Time, and Website. All that info taking up no more than 1 KB. Very small right?
Multiplied by 6 billion requests, that equals 5.6 Terabytes of data being gathered per day!!! Or 4 Gigabytes of data being collected per MINUTE!!
Now, when you look at stats from that perspective, do you see how delicate and complicated of an operation it could be and why it is taking so long??Thankful People: nate_smrs -

How about just collecting summary data, (requesting IP, domain and count), should be much smaller and give most users what they are looking for. And have the ability to purge the data and start over. It would be nice to query down to the exact time of the request, but if it is too much data, and the performance is slow the summary data should suffice. -
The sooner the better..

This service is of no use (at least to me) without the domain report. That is the only reason I signed up. The home page still says reports are available. What a lame and misleading come on.Thankful People: nate_smrs, dtc-bill, jesusabides

very much so thats why opendns can kiss my ass -
@ fuckopendns1
you are complaining about a free service that still blocks/filters content that you don't want on your network?
why not be a bit more positive instead of bringing negative comments into the forums?
its one thing to give your opinion and its another thing to be an inconsiderate asshole about it. -

Just ignore him, he is a troll / spammer.Thankful People: srday -
He's probably a competitor.

I am thankful for OpenDNS for providing the DNS Dasboard.
However like many other people I do miss the Domain Report. My question is there any other service paid or free which offers the same capability as the Domain report?
Any answers would give the answerer 100 Good Karma points.

I'm able to gather reports on my own network, but only because I have control over the network's DNS servers that forward requests to OpenDNS. Home users without advanced knowledge wouldn't be able to do this.
It's sad OpenDNS hasn't kept an open dialog on this feature, as it is one of the primary reasons people choose to switch.
The number of requests and types of requests are cute and great for AJAX'y eyecandy graphs, but mostly useless. I still have to parse the logs from my own dns servers to get the details I need to hone the filtering.
OpenDNS, any updates or input on this? If you can't do it - just fess up... you'll gain more respect for it.Thankful People: liddlefeesh, nate_smrs, jesusabides, festivalfoods -
This thread was started in March - it's now August and, certainly for me, the domain reports are still disabled - any input from OpenDNS on this as there seems to have been no progress on this in getting on for 6 months now and this was pretty much the reason I started using OpenDNS
