mlat data?, how can i check it ?

[spatieman]

hello.
How can i check if i am feeding Mlat data to?
i am tracking now a chopper that has the mlat tag, but on the website it says, unknow callsign.
so, is there way to check my feed status ?

It wont work with just you.

MLAT needs minimum 4 receivers. And always including at least 1 F- FR24 feed

As long as web status page says MLAT OK, then its fine

[spatieman]

aah,ok, i was just wondering.
thank you !

What does the "F-" stand for at the front of the radar name? Mine is a "T-", I think.

Is there a page that explains this?

You can check your log- See if you're pinging the server every 20 seconds or so:

cd /etc/init.d/fr24feed

You dont need to change path if installed correctly.

Check out my Common Commands tips..

http://forum.flightradar24.com/threads/9866-Fr24feed-software-Additional-FAQs-and-Info

Start feed software with full screen output to diagnose possible errors
sudo fr24feed start
(ctrl C to terminate)

Start feed software as service in background (starts on reboot)
sudo service fr24feed start

MLAT values doubt... working OK or not?

Hi,

Just installed fr24feed in a Rasp Pi 3 and everything went OK, but when I tried to check the status with "sudo service fr24feed status" I only get useless info, not the statuses I've seen all over the forum. The only useful info I get is this path "/dev/shm/fr24feed.txt" which is the monitor.txt of for the webserver..

In that file I see things like these:

mlat-mode=UDP
mlat-number-seen=10
mlat-ok=YES
mlat-started=YES
mlat-time-last-ping=1468588897
mlat-time-last-push=1468588899
mlat-time-last-push_count=36
mlat-time-last-seen=1468588899
mlat-time-stats=1468588902
mlat-uplink-stats=0
mlat_problem=no-config

I would like to know what "mlat-number-seen=10" means because in the normal fr24feed.log file, I see values like "[mlat][i]Stats 92137/33" and I'm not sure what is the difference... and of course, the "mlat_problem" line doesn't say much...

My normal fr24feed.log file says everything seems OK.

Best regards.

Use the web config page instead. Equally more than the commandline status
