perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi,

The <DATE>_TESTSPEC tables map to the testspec blocks in the owmesh, not the 
mesurementset. I don't think there is an issue here. Even if something is 
inserting one testspec for every measurementset, there shouldn't be an issue. 
The description field is not used anywhere and the protocol that interacts 
with tools like the graph don't even see the description.

Thanks,
Andy
