perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Fausto Vetter <>]

Hi Kunal,

May you provide more information about the software you are trying to 
install? Have you tried the last available perfSONAR-MDM release (3.0)? 
Could you find the needed information you need to install the service?

Basically, to ensure you have properly installed the service you should 
access through a web-browser the web-interface through the address:

http://[hostname]:8080/geant2-java-rrd-ma/

where [hostname] is the address of your server: IP or hostname.

After accessing this address, you should be able to see the 
administration perfSONAR web-interface.

After this step, you are able to access the configuration page which 
enables you to configure the basic configuration of any perfSONAR 
webservice.

If you are not able to see this interface, let me know. By the way, you 
will need to create the stitching file which is the file that will tell 
the RRD-MA information about the interfaces you want to access and it 
make the linking between the RRD-Files and the information about the 
data it is presenting.

After installing and doing the stitching, you will need to use the 
perfSONAR-UI to test if everything is working fine.

Do not hesitate to contact us for help.

Cheers,
Fausto Vetter
