  • Email 6/15/2016 to Fitzi, pinger.fsksm.utm.my is down.

NUST

Emailed Dr Hassaan 6/15/2016 asking for update and 6/18/2016.

Dr Hassaan Khaliq contacted and said "We shall look into the issues with them" 5/13/2016. 

 Last update 4/6/2016. 

Hassaan's student (Mian Anas Abrar <anas.abrar@gmail.com>) reports: "Sir haven't disabled any of them which i told earlier and actually can't even get back to them because of their wrong contact numbers or their numbers not responding since then. I have tried contacting Dr.Les earlier  few time as per your instructions but don't know why i wasn't able to email him. rest the status is actually same nodes being down". We believe we have solved the mail problem.

We are unable to gather data from the following Pakistani PingER monitors:

Muhammad Anas Abrar provided an update 6/19/2016: 

pingerqta.pern.edu.pk (DNS resolves to 121.52.157.157) are asking to change the IP to 121.52.157.148, 
  • Currently it does not respond to ping pingerqta.pern.edu.pk 
  • Ping 121.52.157.148, responds
  • http://121.52.157.148/ Apache responds. http://121.52.157.148//cgi-bin/ping_data.pl? responds (albeit very slowly) with Get Ping Data from sharedw228.b2bhosting.net  
    • This is a funny hostname. It comes from the system response to the perl commands:
      • use Net::Domain qw(hostname hostfqdn hostdomain);
        my $hostname = hostfqdn();

  • Also there is data. 
  • The following needs to reflect the new IP address at 121.52.157.148
    • Output from: /bin/cat /etc/hosts
      # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
      # that require network functionality will fail.
      127.0.0.1		localhost.localdomain localhost
      121.52.157.157   pingerqta.pern.edu.pk
  • It is very easy to change the IP address once the Measurement Agent is up and running and responding, in fact the PingER meta data at SLAC was changed in February 2015. Howeer the DNS still points to:

    [cottrell@pinger ~]$ nslookup pingerqta.pern.edu.pk

    Server:  134.79.111.111

    Address: 134.79.111.111#53

    Non-authoritative answer:

    Name: pingerqta.pern.edu.pk

    Address: 121.52.157.157

     

Following hosts are down and not responsive. Nodes were contacted many times for identifying their issues. i.e turn on their pinGER Computers but never responded well.

Where as following is the list of Node that are now working:
The following are close to working:

* This host was noted at the 3/9/2016 meeting as being down for the last 30 days.

+ Not seen in June 2016

Les proposes:

  • Give up (i.e. remove from Monitoring node table by setting Projecttype to D (for Disabled))  on non-responsive hosts not working since 3/9/2016.
  • I would not oppose extending thsi to all non-responsive, non-working hosts.
  • Focus on the close to working hosts

 Strikethrough working again in June

PingER at SLAC

 

 Working on the following hosts to be able to gather data
