When you've installed your MA, you've answered a question about the name of
the rrd database config file to be used by the service (the default answer is
rrd-database_TEST.xml). This is the file you should edit in order to include
your specific interface metadata and data. It summarizes this info for all the
interfaces. If you'd like to change the name of the file, you should edit the
following line in $PERFSONAR/conf/service.properties.ma

service.ma.conf_file=/usr/local/etc/rrd-database_ISTF.xml

and restart the service after that.

If you've configured your service to use eXist, than you should import the
above mentioned rrd-database_*.xml file in eXist.

Best regards,
Vedrin
