perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Tshabalala, Devine (Mr) (s210051701)" <>]

Thank you Daniel.

Are there any people who are capable and can help out (especially on technical implementation ).

The attached is a screen shot of two different screens monitoring the same link (10 gig link). Screen 1 monitored by SNMP (production traffic) and screen 2 monitored by perfSONAR (throughput being utilized). The two graphs have to be visually compared to determine the total bandwidth being utilized. Hence, l want to integrate these tools to generate a consolidated network performance monitoring report to effectively manage bandwidth utilization. So what can be the challenges that l need to look at when it comes to integrate perfSONAR and other tools? Also l want to know, how the database table formats look like.

Thank you :-)

Kind regards

Hi Devine,

Firstly, thanks for taking an interest in perfSONAR! To answer your question, I don't think anyone is aware of any formal efforts to correlate perfSONAR and SNMP data, though it's certainly possible that there might be informal or side efforts in the community that could be a starting place. I am forwarding this email over to our users list to see if anyone wants to chime in with anything they might be up to that could be a foothold for this.

Certainly feel free to ping either the developer or the user list if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

-Dan

hi

Hope all is well :-). l am a masters student at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in South Africa. l am networks passionate student, wanting to do a research on network monitoring and performance. I just wanted to ask if they has been project that correlate of perfSONAR and SNMP (or similar) data? l have an interest of researching towards that direction? Therefore, l am searching for some hints and guidance on how to tackle such a situation.
You assistance would be greatly appreciated..
