perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[David Mitchell <>]

I'm trying to use the mesh generator to setup a new mesh of bwtcl and owamp 
tests. I've been following the directions on the Wiki. I have created the 
json configuration file using the build_json script and updated the 
agent_configuration.conf to point to the file. That all seems to work OK. 
When I run the generate_configuration script it produces quite a few errors 
about being unable to update files. I'm not sure what other folks do to run 
this script, as by default the files are owned by user perfsonar and that 
account is locked. When it completes, there is a maddash configuration dumped 
in json format in /opt/maddash/maddash-webui/xsede-mesh.json. That would be 
great but I thought maddash was reading 
/etc/maddash/maddash-server/maddash.yaml for it's configuration. I was going 
to work through this apparent disconnect before I try and troubleshoot 
whether the measurements are being properly scheduled. I do have an older 
version of the maddash software and a configuration set up. Would that be 
breaking things? According to yum I'm up to date on all of the perfsonar and 
maddash packages. Thanks in advance,
