• Charnsack: We need to get the latest pinger2.pl measurement agent script installed at Ubru so we can get better logging and see why the other hosts are not being monitored. As of 10/3/2018 we are unable to gather data and the host is not pingable. Les sent email to Charnsack 9/3/2018.

Amity (Updated 8/6/2018, No update 9/6/2018)

• 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. Now have 1 or more Beacons in  > 158 different countries, all are working except one inSyria.
• There was 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.

Raspberry Pi version 1 PingER MA at SLAC

• This was installed in mid 2015 as part of the ePingER project (see ePinger Project at SLAC). It has run flawlessly without manual intervention for over 3 years, automatically recovering from power outages etc.  The OS failed a security scan. Rather than upgrade etc., since it has served its time, we decided to decommission it and focus more on the PingER/Android project. Bebo I have the Rapsberry Raspberry Pi and SD card.
