Query from JST#7

Thank you for your kind help!

We have two more questions about Validation Tool for SUSHI report.

Q-1
We checked our report created by our new COUNTER report system with the new COUNTER Validator (https://validator.countermetrics.org/).
But unfortunately we had the following errors in SUSHI API TR report:

Unique_Item_Investigations is missing while Total_Item_Investigations is present
Unique_Item_Investigations is missing while Unique_Item_Requests is present

The TR report body is shown in TR_SUSHI_Error.pdf available from the URL shown here:

Could you please what correction we should make?

Q-2
We would like the new COUNTER Validator to check our system in our sandbox segment for our developer.
We have to modify our security system for this purpose. Could you please tell us the IP address(es) the new COUNTER Validator may use?
Is it only "167.71.1.125"? Or does it use multiple IP addresses?
If there are any other characteristics or specifications of the Validator, please tell them to us.

Best regards,

Regarding Q-1, the counts for the Unique_Item_Investigations also must be included in the report. The report includes Total_Item_Requests and the corresponding Unique_Item_Requests, but only the Total_Item_Investigations, not the corresponding Unique_Item_Investigations. Since there is no Metric_Type filter that excludes the Unique_Item_Investigations from the report, they must be included.

Thank you for your prompt reply! I will tell it to our contractor.

Thank you again for your support.

Hello, the IP address 167.71.1.125 is currently the only one used by the Validator. There is no plan to change or extend it.

Hello!
Thank you for quick response. I understand the IP for the new Validator is the only one.
Thank you!
