We're starting to roll out a new DNS Stats system to replace the ailing system on the Dashboard now. The first wave of users will see the new system running their Total Requests, Total Unique Domains and (at long last) Top Domains reports starting now.

If you see any problems with the new system, please leave a note here and we'll work to resolve it. Update! If you want to be a part of the next group to use the new system, email daniel at opendns.com.

Thanks for sending so many DNS requests!

Yay!

I would like to be a part of the next group as well! :-)

does this mean the "domains" feature in stats will be available soon?

@crazyal15: You bet! The last few servers are in the mail.

Great stuff! Unbelievable! Awesome! Yes, it really looks similar to the "old" stats, which disappeared begin of this year 2008. I missed it for so long, and now I'm overwelmed and enthusiastic! Thank you so much! A real Christmas gift!

Edit: In between I checked a bit closer, and the stats are really nearly current. One thing I want to mention, the "blocked domains" stats apparently do not work, no data available, and with the recommendation to "add a network"...
Is this intended or still needs to be fixed?

@rotblitz: Total Requests, Total Unique Domains and Top Domains are coming from our new system (for you and other beta testers). I'm coding up the Blocked Domains portion right now.

Thanks guys!

The Dashboard Stats Overview, Total Unique IP, Blocked Domains, and Request Type charts still are NOT working for me. The Total Requests, Total Unique Domains, and Top Domains all seem to function.

Interestingly, however, drop-down box navigation does NOT work on any of these pages. To transition between the different reports, I have to return to the non-functional Stats Overview page and select a different link from the sidebar. This also means I'm unable to choose different date ranges to be displayed.

You may notice some rather ridiculous numbers at about 2:00 PM yesterday, December 3rd. There was a bug in the new system that entered quite a bit of duplicate data yesterday afternoon. I've fixed the problem and the system is back to normal. Unfortunately there's no accurate way to remove offending data.

The problem causes some domains to appear to have been requested thousands of times. The domains themselves are correct and were requested from your network. The counts are incorrectly inflated.

I apologize for any inconvenience but am glad this worked itself out before our general launch. Thanks for your understanding. If you have any further questions, post them here or email richard@opendns.com.

I just made an update to the Stats start page to include graphs from the new system. It'll continue to be expanded as the new system is finished up. Let me know if you see any problems.

@yesnet: You're not in our beta group but I'll enable you in our next expansion early next week.

@rcrowley
Just wanted to point out an observation regarding individual domain blocking and top domain stats.
If I have a domain badsite.net in the blacklist, and the DNS request was for badsite.net, then it is shown as blocked in top domains, but it is not shown as blocked in top domains, if the DNS lookup was for www.badsite.net, although it was blocked in fact. This is pretty confusing and may lead to the action to block www.badsite.net in addition, although this is not necessary.

Could I be entered in for early access??

I miss this feature so much I actually logged on today seeing if maybe the stats would be fully functional again, I was sad to see they were not but when I clicked on over to forums this topic lit up light the Christmas tree at the Rockefeller center

I forgot to not elsewhere but all of the times in this system are in US Pacific time. This is not a permanent change but I consider it an upgrade from having to think in UTC all of the time. Soon we'll ask you which timezone you're in and show all of your stats in local time.

Hi how would I become a beta tester for the new stats system?

It looks like all the stats are working tonight! Are they all on the shiny new system, or is this thanks to leftover connectivity to the old creaky system?

It's also worth noting that drop-down box navigation still does not work. To transition between the different reports, I have to return to the Stats Overview page and select a different link from the sidebar. This also means I'm unable to choose different date ranges to be displayed. Is this some kind of local scripting issue, or is that functionality still being developed?

I have the same problem with drop-down box navigation not working and the position of the "Recent Activity" link overlaps the network selection drop-down field.

The drop-down box issue is definitely not an Apple-only problem. (I'm running PCs here.) I haven't seen the "Recent Activity" overlap issue, though.

I'm guessing the drop-down box functionality is still being developed...?

Top domains is not showing up yet. I was wondering if yall could put it on there?

I'm not seeing any stats at all for one of my networks. Just the graphic that you see when you first sign up and there's no data (the sample graphics). Is this related? The IP address is accurate and DNS request are routed to OpenDNS, just no stats. (?)

I'd be happy to be part of the roll out for the next group. Maybe this will fix my problem.

Didn't see the start of the thread? There are clear instructions on how to request this.

BETA FYI - I have the Top Domains showing, but have lost the "blocked" list. The heading for "Blocked" appears in the drop down list, but no data.....

Update: "Total Unique IPs" and "Request Types" are not working now either and redirects me to "Sorry, the page you requested wasn't found."

I'm putting the finishing touches on the backends for Blocked Domains, Request Types and Unique IPs. Next step is the UI for these and then the big rollout. Thanks for all of the feedback.

Domains is not showing up for me. It still says disabled. I was added to the beta list on Dec. 22. When is it supposed to show up?
