Charnsak is looking at a host in Champasak University, Chan Parsa province in Laos as a potential site for a PingER MA. Charnsak just got approved to make contact with the Champasak University. He expects to set up the MA in the next 4-5 months (say towards end 2018). It also depends on the partner university, and there may be a lot of paperwork.

PingER at SLAC

Host | State | last seen | Status |
---|---|---|---|
pinger.cs.ubru.ac.th | Stopped being pingable 2/25/2019. Thus by default the gathering failed. However, by ignoring the ping result gathering works to http://pinger.cs.ubru.ac.th/cgi-bin/ping_data.pl. Fixed gatherer script and gathered missing data. 3/2/2019 sent email to Charnsak asking if the pinging can be fixed. | Ping fails but gathering works. | |
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. It started again1/26/2019. It does not respond to pings from SLAC but does respond to http://pinger.isra.edu.pk/cgi-bin/ping_data.pl? which is used to get the data. However, the data indicate that none of the pings respond, e.g. pinger.isra.edu.pk 121.52.154.228 pinger.fsktm.um.edu.my 103.18.2.152 100 1548633600 31 0 i.e. all 31 pings fail and 0 give any response. When one tries to ping from pinger.isra.edu.pk using http://pinger.isra.edu.pk/cgi-bin/traceroute.pl?function=ping&target=www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu&options=-i%200.2 the web page responds but all pings from isra fail. Email sent to Wajahat 1/28/2019. Started working again 1/30/2019. Stopped being pingable and unable to gather data 2/11/2019. 3/2/2019 can gather data but all the pings are failing. Emailed Wajahat 3/3/2019. | March 6, 2018 | Fixed 1/5/2019 Failed again starting 1/26/2019. Working again 1/30/2019 |
