Hello, Can somebody please help me to check the services for real time data? Below I have my tests, logs, etc. Basically getting a lot of timeout errors and finding some possible areas of the docs that we need to update. Maybe, instead of this script, there is a page showing the live status of the servers that also reports downtime and resolution issues if they occur? Would be helpful so that I do not post needlessly something that I should be able to solve alone. In this case, I get failures both from google's hosting and from my own hosting, so I am hoping that is a thorough check. Docs: Data/Trading Service Connection and Symbol Issues The article on ping at the bottom is no longer available. Also I can't find the settings mentioned in the text here: There is also the Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> SC Server Settings >> Always use Port 443 for Real-Time Data setting. However, when using data compression, this port will not be used.

The trading servers will not respond to a ping.

I found the location of Always Use Port 443 For Real-Time Data. It is located under Global Settings > Sierra Chart Server Settings Sure will be nice if we can just search and find the commands. I don't care what menu they are in, I just want to have instant access to editing the params. Even a json or yaml file that I can edit by hand and save would be fantastic. Anyhow, that can be fixed in the docs here: Data/Trading Service Connection and Symbol Issues: Internet Ports However, I still have the same results and it doesn't use 443: 2024-04-03 09:47:29.095 \| Teton CME Order Routing \| Firm: Phillip Capital 2024-04-03 09:47:29.095 \| Teton CME Order Routing \| Connecting to the server futurestrading17.sierracharts.com.

A reboot of my system was required to fix the issue. So, entirely my problem and caused by the operating system I guess. I'll leave the script and the notes in case they are helpful for somebody else. Thanks for the info about the 443.
