Many CWOP Servers Persistently Down
« on: September 06, 2022, 03:35:15 PM »
Anyone have any insight as to why all but two of the seven CWOP servers have been consistently down the past several weeks?

Thanks,

Erik,

Wish I knew. It is weird to that Raw Data shows stuff.out of sequence. A lot of people have noticed issues.

I haven't really noticed unless I am totally missing something.  I check their QC site regularly and my data are being uploaded every 5 minutes.  Are you referring to something else?  I would be really curious if I am missing something that others are logging onto.  Thanks, Rick.

No, however, I addressed this problem back then, and fixed it with the help of this board until the problem started again. I now use only 44.155.254.4 as an upload address (nixed the others), and as far as I can tell it has been flawless, at least for now...

Mine seemed better after switching out to WFL2 instead of MB but it is missing 2 or 3 every hour. It alternates randomly between CWOP-3 and CWOP-5.

Thanks Gents:

Here is what I am referring to:

Main page: http://aprs2.net/
Page of interest: http://status.aprs2.net/ (see bottom of the page)

This is a status dashboard for all the APRS servers, including CWOP (which are a small part of the overall set of APRS servers).  At the bottom are the CWOP servers.

Historically, all seven are up and running usually, but currently only two are; it seems to have been that way for at least a couple of months. Which I think means everyone's CWOP data is being funneled through those two. That isn't necessarily a problem, unless they both go down.  One was down briefly yesterday; if they both went down, I don't think any of the CWOP stations could get their data uploaded until at least one came back online.

Regards,

Erik

I am seeing data drop-outs from time to time on the CWOP plots.

See example attached. I thought that this was the fault of my dying meteohub, I changed to a Meteo-Pi Ethernet and after 24 hrs of perfect performance, I see overnight that there was another data gap. I checked other CWOP sites nearby (that don't rely on my own Internet connection) and I see the same thing elsewhere.

I was wondering if this is related to all these server number issues that have been reported here...

I don't think this is related but I got an email from CWOP that my data were "stale".  It only indicated a very short time early this morning around 2am, then it went back to "active".  I checked my Ambient system and everything appeared to be alright and I checked the other sites the data got sent to and they appeared alright.  Interesting blip in the data transfer process.  This is the first time I ever received this notification.

On another note, I noticed that WeatherCloud is undergoing updating.  Anyone else get this message when you attempt to log onto their website?

Perhaps this thread is more appropriate then: Connection weirdness to CWOP

In case anyone else is experiencing issues, my CWOP gremlins came back promptly at 1130Z this morning. The address I've been using since June, which was 44.155.254.4, has worked flawlessly until today. I now use 143.244.144.248, and it's uploading again. See how long this one goes.

I recently stood up a new server for cwop4: cwop4.aprs.net


Static addresses are:

IPv4:    143.244.144.248
IPv6:    2604:a880:400:d0::1cf8:c001

Thanks, Erik N7FYO
