Steel gauges stopped working?

I'm using Cumulus MX with out-of-the-box unamended webpages, running on a Raspberry Pi.
Everything has been working perfectly until the last few days, when the Steel gauges started working only intermittently, now they seem to have stopped altogether. Other parts of the webpages (charts etc) are fine, and the gauges appear correctly, but all read 'zero' (or rather, bottom of the scale).

I understand that the gauge 'software' is located elsewhere with the RPi just providing the values to display - so where do I look to solve this issue?
Does anyone else have a problem?

You should be able to see my gauges at http://89.XXX.3.112:8998/gauges.html (replace the XXX with 217)

Web socket connections to port 8002 are failing - do you have that port open on your firewall?

Thanks, I didn't, and forwarding port 8002 to the RPi has instantly fixed the problem!
I suppose at least it means my firewall is doing its job.

Is this a new requirement? I have never opened that port previously and it was working fine!

The 'intermittent' is likely because (although I had not realised it) there was no problem over my internal LAN

The Dashboard, Now and Gauges pages have always used web sockets and always on port 8002, by default.
