Hi I'm new to this and have no previous knowledge of the Raspberry Pi world. Is there a way for me to check if my feeder to here is working on the Pi as although I know everything is working as other feeders are reporting correctly I can't see me on the Mlat report. Many thanks for any advice. Edit* So just installed htop and can see an entry for both netcat and mlat against adsb exchange. netcat says it's feeding to "30005" but mlat has "sleep 30" under it periodically, would that have something to do with why I can't see it on the site? (all other feeds report mlat working fine)
Thank you. Got this: lines out output: 6 Data incoming from: xx.xx.xxx.xx Route: beast_front Port: 30005 Backend: beast_back Connected: golang-merge-9-2 Age: 4h21m I guess that means it's working?
Ah there isn't so I guess something hasn't gone quite right, what steps should I take? would a simple re-install of the ads-b feeder software be enough? Many thanks. Did the re-install just in case and now get this: lines out output: 20 Data incoming from: xx.xx.xxx.xx Route: beast_front Port: 30005 Backend: beast_back Connected: golang-merge-1 Age: 15m12s Data incoming from: xx.xx.xxx.xx Route: MLAT_front Port: 31090 Backend: MLAT_back_3 Connected: mlat-c Age: 1m49s Data incoming from: xx.xx.xxx.xx Route: MLAT_front Port: 31090 Backend: MLAT_back_3 Connected: mlat-c Age: 49s I'm thinking that looks a bit better?
Dumb question - that "Age" metric? Assume it means how long it's been getting active data (aka Uptime) ? or how long since last packet?
How long connection to proxy server has been active. Just for information .. it will reset if I reload config
Thanks! I did not know about this link to check for feeding. The only reason I set up a custom feeder port was to check to see if I was feeding. Now I no longer need it. I understand you are short of ports for custom feeders. You can release mine for someone else to use. I've changed over to feed to 30005 now. I submitted a "claim" form with a comment to release the port. Cheers.
