perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

Hi Soichi;

The local services page is designed to look for PID files and process names 
for the various services.  In the case of Latency testing:

> my $pSB_owamp_master_pid        = 
> "/var/lib/perfsonar/perfsonarbuoy_ma/owamp/powmaster.pid";
> my $pSB_owamp_master_pname      = "powmaster";
> my $pSB_owamp_collector_pid     = 
> "/var/lib/perfsonar/perfsonarbuoy_ma/owamp/upload/powcollector.pid";
> my $pSB_owamp_collector_pname   = "powcollector";

And in the case of Bandwidth testing:

> my $pSB_bwctl_master_pid    = 
> "/var/lib/perfsonar/perfsonarbuoy_ma/bwctl/bwmaster.pid";
> my $pSB_bwctl_master_pname      = "bwmaster";
> my $pSB_bwctl_collector_pid     = 
> "/var/lib/perfsonar/perfsonarbuoy_ma/bwctl/upload/bwcollector.pid";
> my $pSB_bwctl_collector_pname   = "bwcollector";

The check will go into 'not running' if there are no PID files, or the PID in 
the file doesn't match the process name that is currently running.  That 
would be the first place to look (and naturally the old fashioned 'reboot' 
has been known to fix this).  

With regards to your Bandwidth test machine - I don't see any tests in an 
active state via the results page, so that may be additional troubleshooting 
you will want to do.  

Thanks;
