perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[<>]

I have seen this happen in the past when operating inside a site with a 
mandatory web proxy.

PerfSonar has no way of entering web proxy info?

Christopher,

The UI will report "Unknown" when querying the lookup services fails for 
whatever reason. The only way I have seen this occur in testing is when there 
is no external network connectivity, though I would also guess this could 
happen if the lookup server(s) happen to be down. They appear to all be up 
from where I am so I don't think that is the case.

Your lookup server locator should be found in  
/opt/SimpleLS/bootstrap/etc/hosts-client.yml. Can you verify the contents of 
that file and see if you can access the URL inside from the pS machine?

For the past several days, our pS-Performance toolkit has been reporting 
“Unknown” under “Globally registered” in the web interface. At first, we 
still showed up on the Lookup Service Directory, but this morning we do not.

What would trigger “Unknown” rather than simply “Yes” for success or “No” for 
failure, and how should we correct this?
