It appears to be back up now, so perhaps it's just a lag issue. --Richard On Feb 16, 2011, at 3:50 AM, Robert Kisteleki wrote:

Hey guys,
I've just been re-engineering my home network to give probe 394 more stable access.
It seems that the ATLAS web site still reports it as "down" even though it's clearly reporting information to the central system (since the RRD graphs are updated).
Huh?

Hi,
Your probe is/was behind (at least) two levels of NAT, so anything is possible :-)
More seriously: our controller in LA, which is responsible for your probe, got disconnected around midnight CET, thus it couldn't report connections from probes; this is why your probe was reported as "down". We reconnected it some minutes ago, so these buffered messages could finally go through.
The reason you probe could still report measurement data to the system is entirely different. We are in the middle of an internal structural change, which allows us to report measurement data on a separate, more scalable channel. Our controller in LA was the first one to be switched to this method (just yesterday!).
We are migrating other (EU) controllers to this new method in the coming days. Also, we plan to use this method for more messages in the future, making the system more resilient against these disconnection hickups.
Hope that clarifies!
Robert
