How can I go about resolving ‘not reachable’ and missing in topology.json for my relay node?

Relay node [9line-1.bouncethebox.com:6000](http://9line-1.bouncethebox.com:6000)  
Relay node [9line-1.bouncethebox.com:6000](http://9line-1.bouncethebox.com:6000) is reachable  
Relay node [9line-1.bouncethebox.com:6000](http://9line-1.bouncethebox.com:6000) has unexpected status “not reachable” on topologyUpdater  
Relay node [9line-1.bouncethebox.com:6000](http://9line-1.bouncethebox.com:6000) is missing in [topology.json](https://explorer.mainnet.cardano.org/relays/topology.json)

Thanks in advance 😉

Patience, if you are running topology updater once/hour and the port is open to accept incoming connections then u need to wait

Relay node [9line-1.bouncethebox.com:6000](http://9line-1.bouncethebox.com:6000) is reachable

Relay node [9line-1.bouncethebox.com:6000](http://9line-1.bouncethebox.com:6000) is subscribed to [topologyUpdater](https://cardano-community.github.io/guild-operators/#/Scripts/topologyupdater)

Relay node [9line-1.bouncethebox.com:6000](http://9line-1.bouncethebox.com:6000) is missing in [topology.json](https://explorer.mainnet.cardano.org/relays/topology.json)

Cheers,

Thanks, Alex. As always, you were right; took some time but it is resolved. Is this something I need to worry about:

Extended metadata missing

Adding extended metadata makes it easier for users to navigate different stake pools. See [AdaPools example](https://a.adapools.org/extended-example)
