Discussion
The Jordan team (located in Amman, Jordan) will probably install the software on a Virtual Machine running Linux.
The requirements etc. are at: http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/pinger/tools/mon-req.html (recently updated).
The VM will need a DNS name and Internet accessible IP address.
The VM will need to have a web server, e.g. Apache, and port 80 and ICMP echo/response will need to be enabled.
The PingER applications that will need installing are:(see Installation Overview)
- A reverse traceroute server (traceroute.pl), see http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/pinger/tools/install2.html
- The data gatherer (ping_data.pl). see http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/pinger/tools/install2.html
- It is good practice to install a data trimmer to stop local storage growing indefinitely (see http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/pinger/tools/install2.html)
- All the above are stand-alone perl scripts with no dependencies.
The final step is to install the Measurement Agent (MA) pinger2.pl see http://www.slac.stanford.edu/comp/net/wan-mon/Pinger2/. See http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/pinger/tools/mon-req.html for requirements.
The Jordan team will install the software. Any questions should be addressed to kalim@slac.stanford.edu and cottrell@slac.stanford.edu.
The Jordan team will be invited to the January 2019 regular PingER meeting and included in the Doodle poll. Les will invite them to the pinger-my email list.
