When I move BOINCstats to the new server, I'll have a lot more space for histories.

How long would you like the history for:
Hosts
Users
Teams
Countries
These are now limited to 30 days.
Don't say unlimited unless you have a explanation!

How would you like the history presented in the graphs? Unlimited in one graph, or like the project totals, a 30 day history with a monthly history?

I would like to expand slightly on the current info. I like to 30 day graph and table (similar to the current ones). I would also like to see a 12 month graph and table with data saved on the first of each month.

I would like to see the new host CPID used to generate cross project tables per host. This will only be useful as all projects move to the 4.6x server code to generate the XML files. I already have the new HostCPID assigned to most of my machines.

Unlimited data is just hard to parse.

Sounds good to me what mcloud has to say....

I agree with John and Bas.

Agree with McLeod,

30 day graph, from before that the monthly totals, and if diskspace is
suffient.... and we will be crunching for years.... keep the yearly stats.

what I mean is, in the future say stardate 2010 jan 01, you can see how
many credits you got in 2005 2006 2007 2008. From 2009 you can
see how many you got per month and from the last 30 days you can
see per day.

to be honest, I do know about databases, but I don't dare to make
a guess about the size of the current boincstats database.... maybe
Willy could send me the filesize of the database so that I have an
idea ... (seti___AT___bings__DOT__demon__DOT__nl pls remove
underscores and replace AT and DOT with the correct signs)

Size of the database is no secret.

We are currently cruising at 566.6MB, gaining about 4MB every day (which should not be a problem once I get the new server up and running).

At the moment I have the following history's in mind:
hosts: 30 days (mainly because there are so much of them)
users/teams/countries: 60 days.

All of them: a monthly index taken on the 1st of the month.
