After installing the PingER2 monitoring code, we installed the ping_data gathering agent, and the traceroute server following the instructions.
We temporarily entered the machines as monitors in the PingER meta data base of hosts and successfully gathered the data using the stabdard overnight cronjob.
Deployment
After installing and testing we plan to place the first ePingER host at the University of Zambia in Lusaka, Zambia following the SCINDA/IHY meeting in Livingstone, Zambia June 2009. We requested an IP address and the name pinger.unza.zm. WE also clarified how to get customs clearance and requested a formal donation letter from ICTP.
Experiences
Marco any concerns about flash memory and repeated accesses, lifetime etc.?
