Is my data arriving?
This page checks whether we are receiving data from your IP address right now. No sign-up, nothing to type in: we simply look at where the request came from.
Checking…
Not recognised?
Before assuming something is broken: this page checks the address your browser comes from. If you are on a phone over mobile data, in another building, or behind a VPN, that address differs from your receiver's and the answer will be negative even with a perfectly healthy feed.
Run this on the machine that sends the data: it leaves from the same address as the feed, so the answer is really about your receiver.
curl https://api.flyitalyadsb.com/api/am_i_feedingIf it is negative from there too
-
Check the destination:
dati.flyitalyadsb.comport4905for BEAST,30100for MLAT. -
Confirm the connection is actually open:
ss -tnp | grep 4905 -
On ultrafeeder, check the container logs:
docker logs -f ultrafeeder - A connection opened just now can take up to a minute to show up here.
What this means
BEAST
The stream of ADS-B messages your receiver decodes and sends us. This is the one that matters: if it is active, your data is going into the network.
MLAT
Multilateration, which derives the position of aircraft that don't broadcast one by comparing arrival times across receivers. It is optional: you can feed BEAST without doing MLAT. How it works →
