perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Sowmya Balasubramanian <>]

Hi Roderick,

The bwcollector and the powcollector scripts usually read the data and delete it once they calculate the summary. 

You can find the script here: http://anonsvn.internet2.edu/viewvc/viewvc.py/perfSONAR-PS/trunk/perfSONAR_PS-perfSONARBUOY/bin/

Regards,

Sowmya

Hi Sowmya,

Thanks! I need to see some of the raw data specifically the time a test started and ended as well as any failed tests - this isn't all available in the DB as far as I understand it. What is the name of the script that deletes the files? - if necessary I'll comment out the code that does that so I still have the files. Any help / direction in this regard will be appreciated. PS this is for a lab setup - I'm not concerned about the disk space and will monitor it manually....

Thanks again,

Roderick
