- Les identified and sanitized a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) exposure in ping-data.pl. He sent out a notice to update. Saqib has updated. Unfortunately cannot see from outside the Great Wall of China.
- Les cleaned up the Beacons and added some more hosts. Now have 161 more Beacons in 156 different countries, all are working.
- We now monitor 830 targets from SLAC this is an increase of ~100 in the last year and is the most monitored from SLAC ever.
- We are monitoring 48 IPv6 nodes from SLAC.
- There was is a problem gathering data from 2001:da8:270:2018:f816:3eff:fef3:bd3 the Guangzhou IPv6 host in Beijing. Since it does not use the standard way of gathering data (ping_data.pl), but instead uses anonymous FTP, the standard way of debugging the problem does not work. Les and Saqib worked on to provide SLAC access to various log files etc. via the anonymous FTP proxy. Added extra debugging to proxy gatherer, it is in production.
