NUST: (No update 1/15/2019)
Unable to gather data from maggie1.seecs.edu.pk and monitor.seecs.edu.pk. Email sent 1/26/2019.
- results{maggie1.seecs.edu.pk}[0] not defined, unable to gather data for 11 consecutive days this month
- results{monitor.seecs.edu.pk}[0] not defined, unable to gather data for 11 consecutive days this month
- Skipping maggie1.seecs.edu.pk(3) does not ping by name or address 111.68.101.45
- Skipping monitor.seecs.edu.pk(5) does not ping by name or address 111.68.101.10
Wajahat was unable to attend but provided the following update 12/8/2018
- "We have been aggressively pursuing the three nodes(121.52.146.180 (kohat.edu.pk) down since Nov 22/2017; cae.seecs.edu.pk last time we were able to gather any data was September 2nd 2018; and pinger.isra.edu.pk no data since 5th Sept 2018, so it is a candidate to Disable). It appears to me that the participating institutes have started to lose interest in the project. Anyhow, we will keep pushing. Maybe a letter of appreciation from SLAC might rejuvenate their energies. What is your opinion?
- We also need to formulate some research problems that have the potential of appearing in some well-known places. This might help in attracting NUST students which is getting harder these days. I need your help in this regard.

pingersonar-um.myren.net.my, perfsonar-usm.myren.net.my, pingersonar-utm.myrec.net.my | Unable to gather data since mid-November, unable to ping, unable to contact Fizi Jalil, so they have been Disabled. | Mid-November 2018 | Disabled |
| pinger.nwfpuet.edu.pk/cgi-bin | The hostname did not resolve from SLAC, DESY and CERN, however it does resolve from some other places. Email sent to Wajahat and to SLAC net-admin 1/12/2019. No responses, on 1/13/2019 it was fixed, no idea how. It appears that the DNS resolution is intermittently failing. Therefore Les modified getdata.pl to first try DNS and if it fails try getting the data from the IP address in the configuration file. As of 1/18/2019 it appears to be working reliably. | Started 1/7/2019 | Working again. Recovered missing data. |
| pinger.isra.edu.pk | Down, it came up Sep 2-4, 2018. It is pinging, however, all the targets are not responding after 31 tries, email sent to Wajahat 9/18/2018. As of 10/14/2018 it is not pingable. Working again as of 1/5/2019. | March 6, 2018 | Fixed 1/5/2019 |
| pinger.fsktm.um.edu.my | Sent email to Nor Badrual Anuar 1/5/2018. Recommend replacing the pinger.xml file from the master at http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/pinger/pinger.xml and editing it. Nor Badrul Anuar replied saying he will look at it. The file pinger.xml does not close the HostList with a </HostList>. Sent reminder email 1/26/2019. | 12/28/2018 | Corrupted pinger.xml file |
