Unable to view the status dashboard

In today’s experiments with Dask + dask-jobqueue, I found that I could not load the Bokeh dashboard that @mrocklin keeps showing me 😄, which has kept me wondering what exactly is the progress on my simple, embarrassingly parallel task of “loading ~900+ matlab .mat matrices into memory”.

The URL provided by the client is: http://172.16.23.102:8787/status.

I’m able to ping the IP address in there:

$ ping 172.16.23.102

However, I’m unable to access the page in my browser; I get a timeout error.

In terms of network settings, I’m on my work VPN.

Is there something that’s blocking access that I’m missing?

The way I have got a similar setup to work in the past is to do ssh tunneling:

ssh -fN your-login@scheduler-machine -L 33023:localhost:33023

Then I can just open http://localhost:33023 on my local machine and see the status page. Slightly cumbersome but I am afraid I don’t know of a more convenient way of doing it. This approach (which is not dask-specific at all) is mentioned in the distributed doc.

@jhamman happy to do so. Give me a few hours (busy till later) and I’ll be happy to PR in.
