Description
It is not to easy to spot days that have an unusually high rate of newly added relays by looking at [1]. What about a new graph that shows only the number of new unique relay fingerprints first seen on a given day?

Thanks John for working on this.
I think there is a slight misunderstanding what kind of graphs are requested in this ticket, BUT I would still like to see this graphs being added to metrics.
The data available in
https://metrics.torproject.org/stats/servers.csv
https://metrics.torproject.org/stats.html#servers
does not contain the required data to draw the graphs requested in this ticket, since servers.csv only shows absolute numbers and does not say anything about when a relay has first been seen on the tor network (a new fingerprint never seen before).
"first_seen" as defined in
https://onionoo.torproject.org/#details (first_seen field)
- Could you separate relay graphs from bridge graphs (due to the huge spikes for the bridges)?

The required data could easily be created by fetching all new relays/bridges from onionoo once a day.

I am interested in your proposed metric of new unique relays - I consider it to be one of many time series in a data warehouse for privacy intelligence which I would like to implement. I would need to collaborate with you and others to identify signals to be included. Interested in collaborating to create this data warehouse?

Summary: | new graph: new relays per day (identified by fp) → Add graph with new relays per day (identified by fingerprint) |

Tweaked the summary a tiny bit.
A few comments:
- The suggested graph is indeed not correct, because the necessary data is not yet available. I also don't find the suggested graph as useful on its own, which is why I closed #22425. Please refer to the reason for closing that I wrote down there.
- Setting up a data warehouse sounds like a fun project, but it's currently out of scope for metrics team work. That shouldn't stop others from doing it, of course.
- Last but not least, if we want to provide the graph suggested in this ticket, we'll have to write a new data-processing module in metrics-web that provides exactly the data we need.
