The analyzed data from analyze-all.pl is saved in files of the form below, the contents are described in PingER data flow at SLAC:
/nfs/slac/g/net/pinger/pingerreports/hep/<metric>/<metric>-<len>-<by>-<year>-<month>-<day>.txt.gz#len=100|1000, by=by-node|by-site./nfs/slac/g/net/pinger/pingerreports/hep/minimum_rtt/minimum_rtt-100-by-node-2011-05-01.txt.gz |
See https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/IEPM/PingER+data+flow+at+SLAC for the data flow. The use of the proxy is triggered by the NODEDETAIL Data Server entry (e.g. proxy=1) to tell ping_data.pl to gather the data from the SLAC anonymous ftp server (via the copy)that is basically acting as a proxy.

For the Android some new code would be needed to copy the files to SLAC
The locations of the various "files" is seen in the table b low
