I thought it would be interesting to make some pretty charts representing the data behind OSGrid.org’s operations. The following is accurate as of today, but probably wont be tommorow. Some of the data is missing or has gaps in it – this is because during those periods I was not able to get accurate data and decided not to display it at all.

Servers

There are a total of 395 unique IP addresses connected to OSGrid, each roughly corresponds to a unique physical server hosting regions. Of these, 130 were compiled from SVN and give version information. (265 not reporting version).

The most popular version is r9332 with 35 unique servers running this revision. Next is a tie between the official 0.6.4 release and r9313 with 20 unique servers each. The remainder is distributed fairly evenly between r9307 and r9336. It is worth noting that version information was introduced in r9307 – so we cant quite yet see into the 60% that are running behind that version. What is interesting to note is however than 30% of the regions on OSGrid were updated with this revision already and indicates active upgrades and maintainence.

Regions

At time of writing, there are 2,083 regions connected to OSGrid, owned by 386 unique avatars. (Averaging 5.3 regions per avatar) on 395 unique servers. Each server hosts on average 5.2 regions, the mode is 1, with 35% of servers hosting only a single region. The following chart displays the average number of regions per server over a range of values. Interestingly, this means that 1 in 7.5 users own their own region on OSGrid (compared to 1 in 600 in Second Life®)

Users

The most interesting statistics are to do with users – currently there are 15,669 users registered on OSGrid.org. 20% of these users have logged in in the last week, 40% in the last month (75% in the last quarter). You can see the proportion of users who have logged in since a certain date on the following chart.

User Registrations are also fairly interesting to look at – OSGrid benefited enormously by Linden Lab’s Open Space pricing change announcement back in last November. Since the announcement, registrations on osgrid per day has doubled.

It will be interesting to see if history repeats itself again when the next set of price increases occur in June.

Assets

A final note – I cannot make any charts on the asset table because, despite the presence of a creation date – running the query on our 2 million assets results in database meltdown. I can however give some quick figures on the asset table, there are 2,164,534 assets on OSGrid at present occupying a mere 65.4 GB (well less than a percentage of the Linden Lab asset cluster). Part of this is because unless an asset is in inventory, the central asset servers do not care to know about it.
