[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Download Size Stats

We haven't had any issues until recently the transfer shot up and we're trying to figure out why. No big changes in cookbooks or nodes, and all big files are HTTP'd off a different mirror server.

If you reverse http proxy your chef server back end you should be expose

I am not currently aware of a Merb (or Rails) plugin to do this

Does Chef server store any stats showing how much data each client is

It mostly depends on how many searches you do. We use searches extensively,

and after 23 days and ~150 chef-clients:

INBOUND 21,691.91MB

OUTBOUND 2,337,301.19MB

so that's ~700MB per client per day.

If you're concerned about the data size and you're using a reverse proxy, you can turn gzip on at the proxy, as long as you're using a relatively recent version of Chef (0.10.8+).
