GeoWebCache supports some basic statistics, see like <a href="http://maps.opengeo.org:9090/geowebcache/home">http://maps.opengeo.org:9090/geowebcache/home</a><br><br>Better statistics should move forward as we just got a monitoring framework in GeoServer, see <a href="http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Monitoring">http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Monitoring</a> We'll start with also monitoring GWC requests, and it shouldn't be too hard to also port that to standalone. Should be able to cluster that as well, to gather stats in to one database.<br>
<br>I think we've done some work distributing tiles over redundant servers, but didn't build anything specific in GWC for it. Would be interested to hear on that list or add to the roadmap exactly how you'd like that to work. <br>
<br>The other recent GWC work has been to be more transaction aware, using Etags to keep clients more up to date, and subscribing to GeoRSS feeds or direct to GeoServer transactions. Oh, and Gabriel also recently added LFU and LRU caching, so you can just set your max cache size and GWC will delete the least frequently used if it hits that limit. Hrm, looks like both of those need more documentation though.<br>
<br>But I think both TileCache, GeoWebCache and others are open to going to the next level of tile management, just need contributors or funders. <br><br>C<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 9:24 AM, Steven Ottens <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:steven@minst.net">steven@minst.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">I'm also interested in new developments in tiling.<br>
I found that both TileCache and GeoWebCache are lacking in their capabilities to handle and manage (selective pretiling, deleting, handling empty-tiles) vast amounts of tilesets or more 'enterprise' oriented functions like statistics and being able to distribute the tiles over redundant servers.<br>
GWC does have several things in its roadmap: <a href="http://geowebcache.org/trac/wiki/roadmap" target="_blank">http://geowebcache.org/trac/wiki/roadmap</a> but development seems pretty much non-existent since the last release (although it seems to pick up again).<br>
<br>
Since tiling is becoming more accepted by dataproviders I think it is time to work on next level tile management<br>
