The counter's a mix of dynamic and static hehe. The system doesn't actually update in real time so it looks at what its done at the last update, compares it to the update before, and applies the previous events/second.
It updates 2 or 3 times an hour so although it's never quite right it's never very wrong either - for instance right now it says:
- 1,818,889,440 approximation
- 1,818,804,151 real, as of 13 minutes ago.
- 140 events per second, real but based on the last update not right now
It's processing another log file right now and there's one 1/4 complete file on one server and one 1/2 complete file on the other, so right now the approximation is probably close to 2m events less than the truth.
I'll have to do some more testing to see what the issue is with the stuff at the top. Thanks for letting me know.
