- nwfpuet, uettaxila, uob are down for many days: see http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/monitoring/checkdata/).
- We will not give up on them. Only one person is installing nodes. It will take a visit to them. The server needs replacing at sites. UOB will be fixed in 1 months, they will go there on the 27th. Anjum will check the status of the other two with Imran.
- There has never been any data from pinger-itc.pu, aiou, hu (Hazara), kohat, nca, pwr.mu, ustb, since though the hosts are in the NODEDETAILS database there is no dataserver entry for each of then in the database. Should there be? They are identified as monitors. - Even if I guess at the URL for a dataserver, e.g. http://pinger.hu.edu.pk/cgi-bin/ping_data.pl there is no such web page. Maybe the permissions have not been ste. Zafar looked at fixed pinger-itc, and aiou. But for Hazar, kohat, nca pwr, ustb, pinger-rcp cannot find web page, they need to be worked on. Zafar will politely remind Imran about checkdata.
- UPesh problem: See http://pinger.seecs.edu.pk/checkdata/ and "try to get data" for UPesh. UPesh is gathering data but there is "0" at the end of each entry which means that it didn't receive anything back. It can only ping itself. It was installed very differently, they have a private subnet/IP address, this may be not be cost effective to make it work.
- Dr. Anjum is verifying that table.pl at SEECS has all the known Pakistani monitors..
- UET, UOB, LSE, COMSATS do not have the full set of Pakistani beacons. See matrix. The Pakistani monitoring nodes are supposed to get the beacon list from SEECS. – Anjum said he has a student who can fix but need password so they can fix the nodes so they get the list from the SEECS server. They are fetching their beacons from SLAC. Anjum is requesting admins to fix. Working on it, but response from admins is not good.
- RTTs to vle.iiu.edu.pk (AKA PK.IIU.EDU.N2) from the Pakistani monitors (apart from pinger.pern.edu.pk where it is < 1ms) is over ~40ms. The route between from monitoring hosts in Islamabad appears to go via Nayatel to Karachi and back. Amber, Saada and Fahad are investigating.
- pinger-itc.pu.edu.pk has the wrong name internally to PingER2 config file.
