perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Marco André Ferreira Dias <>]

Hi

Thanks Aaron for your useful explanation. I am seeing  at
http://dc211.internet2.edu/cgi-bin/perfSONAR/serviceList.cgi that my
services are running, but I have just a issue with my SNMP_MA report:
querying at SNMP Services-> SPRACE SNMP  I got "localhost" and
"127.0.0.1" for my interface. I revised my configuration files looking
for it (etc/daemon.conf) but I didn't found how to setup my correct
hostname and IP address.
Any clue,

Marco
