Hi everybody,

so after RRD MA has successfully registered to the LS, I'd like the
other services also to register to the LS.

So currently I deployed the following services:

- - RRD MA Service (working 100%)

- - BWCTL MP (half working due to xml message problem with perfsonarUI
although the service is working fine)

- - SSH/Telnet (currently not working at all due to the java error I
posted yesterday)

- - AS service (Installed, configured with the Web IF but I'm waiting for
the edugain certificates in order to check if authentication is working
although registration to LS is working )

- - LookupService (Installed,configured, and self-registration working)

So now I'd like to add the bwctl MP to the LS. Therefore I edited the
file perfsonar.conf in the directory /opt/perfsonar/services/etc like this:

###############################################################################
#
# The following options handle Lookup Service communication:
#
###############################################################################

#enable Lookup Service registration, defaults to 0, can be 0 or 1
ls_register     1

#keepalive interval in seconds, defaults to 3600 (1 hour)
keepalive       3600

#Location of Lookup Server (examples)
ls_url
"http://perfsonar.restena.lu:8080/xml-ls/services/LookupService";

#Some information to be sent to the Lookup Server:
hostname        "eomer.restena.lu"
port            8090
organization    "Restena"
contact 
""

###############################################################################

# Options for Authentication:
#
###############################################################################

#enable authentication, defaults to 0, can be 0 or 1
#auth           0

#Location of Authentication Server

"http://homer.rediris.es:8080/perfSONAR-AS/services/AuthService";

###############################################################################
#
# Configuring services
#
###############################################################################
#
# The following section contains (at least) one or more entries for
different
# perfSONAR services.
#
# Each  entry is  defined by  its service name.  The service name starts
with
# either MA or MP (for Measurement Archive or Measurement Point),
followed by
# the type of data or tool and last by domainname or something similar.
These
# three parts are seperated by slashes, and represent the endpoint URI
of the
# service. The last part, describing the domain is not mandatory. If you
e.g.
# have a measurement point service using BWCTL,  you would add an entry
named
# "MP/BWCTL".  Assuming that  your service is  running on  port 8090 and
your
# hostname is e.g.  "server.mydomain.abc",  a client can reach the
service at
# "http://server.mydomain.abc:8090/services/MP/BWCTL";.
#
#
# The following examples show a configuration for MP and MA
#
###############
# MP example: #
###############

<service MP/BWCTL>

  module        MP::BWCTL       #name of module to load
  servicetype   MP              #servicetype: MP or MA
#name and description, will be reported to Lookup Server
  name          "BWCTL Measurement Point"
  description   "Measurement Point for doing on-demand BWCTL tests"

#measurement metric(s): (More than one element definition possible)
  metric        "bandwidth"

  tool          "bwctl"         #tool name

#list of supported eventtypes: (More than one element definition possible)
  eventtype     "bwctl"
  eventtype     "http://ggf.org/ns/nmwg/tools/bwctl/2.0/";
  eventtype     "http://ggf.org/ns/nmwg/tools/iperf/2.0/";

#command to execute e.g. "/usr/bin/bwctl" or "/bin/bwctl". Omitting path,
#searches $PATH
  command       "bwctl"

</service MP/BWCTL>



Is this correct? Anyhow, if I launch bwctl MP, it does not register to
the LS...

Thanks in advance

Christian
