file size stats

[twuelfing]

I have started to use the new uniform units for time and file size in excel.
(6.2.0.25)
I have a few of questions

1. I am seeing an issue with file size with one of my users. Some have negative values.
   All the zero value jobs are vray spawner tasks so that makes sense.
   
   farm data 5-3-2014.csv (1.18 MB)
2. what units are the files sizes in?
3. what is the stat auxiliary file size referencing?
4. Is it possible with the current data that is collected for me to relate slaves to job start up time and Number of errors generated? I want to create charts that allow me to, over time, identify slaves that are having issues such as taking excessive time to load jobs or are creating more errors than other slaves. I have only been able to related these numbers to jobs, not tasks and therefore slaves, but perhaps I am missing something

thanks

1. Thanks for reporting this! I think we figured out why this is happening. If a task doesn’t have an image file size associated with it, its internal value is -1. We’ll fix the stats calculation code to treat negative values in this case as 0.
2. Bytes.
3. Auxiliary files are any files that are submitted with the job in addition to the job info and plugin info files. Typically, this is a scene file. So the auxiliary file size stat is the combined size of these auxiliary files.
4. Unfortunately, no. Because we aggregate all the task data into averages and maximums, we lose any task-specific information, like which slaves rendered them.
