perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Chris Welti <>]

SWITCH is currently using the python release.
I'm a bit reluctant to change to the java version as it seems to have a HUGE 
overhead. Also the performance of the python version seems better,
according to reports on this list.
As I understand, there needs to be plenty of installation works (Java, 
Apache, Tomcat/Axis, eXist) even before the perfSONAR java installation.
Is there a installation guide for this stuff?
On the www.perfsonar.net I can only find a guide for perfSONAR package
itself, but not the the pre-Install requirements :)
Keep in mind, I'm only a Network Engineer, not a Developer or Sys Admin :)
So until there is a real easy way to install it, or I get enough time on my 
hands to figure it out myself, the SWITCH RRD and ping MA will remain based 
on the python version.

Regards,
Chris
