perfSONAR Announcements

["Vedrin Jeliazkov" <>]

Dear Colleagues,

We're pleased to announce the first public release of perfsonarUI-v0.09
(beta), available via Java Web Start at:

http://perfsonar.acad.bg/

Please note that JRE 1.5 (or newer) is a mandatory prerequisite for launching
the application.

PerfsonarUI's wiki page has been updated accordingly:

For your convenience, here is an excerpt from the change log:

v0.09 - 03 Dec 2006:

- enabled Java Web Start distribution, code signed with a trusted certificate
(signed by thawtepersonalfreemailca and valid until 2 Dec 2007);
- improved user interface layout;
- changed the RRD MA and Hades tabs names to Interfaces and Circuits
respectively;
- upgraded to Axis version 1.4;
- enabled sending of parallel requests to services;
- enabled sending of aggregated requests, containing queries for several
endpoints in a given service;
- enabled MetadaKeyRequests/Responses in the interactions with Hades MA;
- implemented the necessary logic for generating on the fly the information,
stored currently in Hades.conf;
- integrated support for retrieval and visualization of Ripe test data from
Hades service;
- changed “packet count” to “packet loss” in the Circuits tab, third graph;
- added buttons in the Circuits tab for navigating in time (next day, etc);
- added a clear button to the Circuits tab;
- designed and implemented an animated perfSONAR gif image with a turning
radar over the O symbol;
- implemented control over Axis timeouts and enabled dropping of requests;
- integrated support for linking with appropriate sections of VisualperfSONAR
(https://noc-mon.srce.hr/visual_perf);
- added ability to import traceroute output from a file;
- added new and revised existing tooltips for buttons/graphs/links;
- introduced support for plug-ins;
- implemented Interfaces and Circuits tabs as plug-ins;
- removed “Detailed interface statistics” from the Circuits tab;

We'll be continuously implementing new features and bug fixes in this beta
version, until it becomes mature enough for a stable release as a zip archive
and windows installer, in addition to the Java Web Start distribution.

Best regards,
Nina & Vedrin
