Unable to gather data from maggie1.seecs.edu.pk and monitor.seecs.edu.pk. Email sent 1/26/2019
Wajahat provided the following update 12/8/2018
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. Charnsak any update?
Need to add Umar Kalim to http://pinger.unimas.my/pinger/contact.php. From the 7/5/2018 meeting: Johari can't ssh into the server so he will go to it on Monday. He will also upload the new UNIMAS PingER website next week.

pinger.nwfpuet.edu.pk/cgi-bin | The hostname did not resolve from SLAC, DESY andCERN, 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 10/14/2018it 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. | March 6, 2018 | Fixed 1/5/2019 Failed again starting 1/26/2019.

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>. Nor Badrual Anuar edited the pinger.xml file, but the problem was that the hard disk space was full. There are data files going back to 2012. Recommended he deletes all data files up through October 2018. He did this. Then the version of pinger2.pl he was using (ca. 2012) needed SrcIP to be in the pinger.xml file. He added SrcIP to pinger.xml and also updated pinger2.pl. This fixed it. Also recommended he install the data trimmer (see http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/pinger/tools/install2.html) and enter it in the cronjob. | 12/28/2018 | Badrul fixed 1/30/2019. |
