From Adib:
"Since we're still waiting on an account, at SLAC, I asked the student to explore another idea (which is quite relevant) proposed by Prof. Bebo “Creative visualization of PingER data, including rich interaction;”. He has already started looking at the possible attractive/interactive design, at the same time he is working to improve his programming skills."
"On the other hand, I am in the final stage of writing a case study on the Internet performance in ASEAN countries and its implication on the Socio-Economic Indexes. Will try to share with Dr.Les and Prof. Bebo soon to comment and get your advice on the publication possibility of the paper."

Title: visualization of PingER historical data using warehouse
Status: Our idea is to develop a warehouse in our university and make it publicly available.
One way of drilling down is via a map of all sites. Faisal Zahid put something together a couple of years ago. It is at http://www.slac.stanford.edu/comp/net/wan-mon/viper/pinger-coverage-gmap.html. It uses Google maps, allows pan and zoom, plus selection of type (measurement agent, beacon, target) of host to display. It also allows one to select a host (Search location), mouse click on the balloon to find out more about the host, from there click on the sites web site, click on the country or region to get the relevant pingtable.pl information. The Visualize allows one to choose a measurement agent and a country and it draws coloured lines between the sites to represent the metric choose.
This was very useful but parts of it are broken. It would be great to fix or replace. It has some documentation.
For plotting time series, Grafana looks very promising
Updating the motion charts, adding newer data etc. would be most useful. See http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/pinger/pinger-metrics-motion-chart.html and http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/pinger/explorer.html
Enhance the selection Metrics, Ticks (see pingtable.pl) to allow multiple metrics (min, avg, max RTT, loss, thrpughput, , MOS ..) to be plotted as a time series.
Enhanced selection remote hosts for selected tick, selected metric selected mutiple targets (pingtable.pl currently only allows one target), e.g.
Once you have plot enable fitting the data to timelines (linear, exponential, power series)
Map pf countries the world colored by metric allow selection of metric and for a particular year. with chosen MA, e.g.

Name: Sara Masood
Title: PingER Internet Performance Monitoring Agent On Android Device
Status: There has been a discussion to pin down more closely what is needed, i.e. a PingER Measurement Agent running on an Android making measuremenst measurements to the Beacons, and the ability to upload the data nightly. We will set up held a skype skype group meeting with Topher, Sara, Saqib, Bebo and Les to move forward. See See 20160331 Meeting on PingER/Android, also see Discussion on porting PingER to Android. She has what she needs for now.

Title: She is interested to work on Environment that supports the execution of analytical distributed queries in Hadoop Cluster.

Saqib's old supervisor agreed to appoint a master student to take of PingER in UTM. Saqib has emailed 3/9/2016, any progress 4/6/2016?

MYREN
Adib talked to Fitzi: Basically, all PingER myren monitoring nodes are working properly according to Fizi. nothing much to be done from his side at the moment. Currently, he is fully occupied with some running projects that takes most of his time. But, he is ready to help, in case we need his support.

MYREN
perfsonar-unimas.myren.net.my is working again.
However pingersonar-um.myren.net.my and pingersonar-usm.myren.net.my were not responding to pings. Emali sent to Fitzi 4/5/2016. pingersonar-um.myren.net.my is now working again. pingersonar-usm.myren.net.my is still not. Tomorrow Fitzi will try abd to contact person at USM tomorrow because he noticed that on the MYREN switch to the server the connection port is down.
NUST
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.
