Hi Dan,

Here are some more example "error" messages that likely aren't.  I am not sure if Aaron has fixed any of these already.

The following are all classified as 'error' level:

<171>Jan 15 13:40:56 psum06.aglt2.org bwctld[8390]: FILE=bwctld.c, LINE=446, Reservation Status: time=1421347256 action="remove" sender=129.93.5.165 receiver=192.41.230.62 tool=iperf res_start=1421347221 res_end=1421347255 test_start=1421347223

<171>Jan 15 13:40:55 psum02.aglt2.org bwctld[15734]: FILE=bwctld.c, LINE=446, Reservation Status: time=1421347255 action="new" sender=192.41.230.60 receiver=164.58.29.118 tool=traceroute res_start=1421347258 res_end=1421347272 test_start=1421347260

<171>Jan 15 13:47:45 psum02.aglt2.org bwctld[15734]: FILE=bwctld.c, LINE=826, Time Slots

<171>Jan 15 13:50:09 psum02.aglt2.org bwctld[15734]: FILE=bwctld.c, LINE=831, Time Slot 58: 1421347826 to 1421347827: 1 reservations

<11>Jan 15 13:52:00 psum02.aglt2.org bwtraceroute: Server 'psum02.aglt2.org' accepted test request at time 1421347926.615590

This one may be an error, but perhaps warning?

<171>Jan 15 13:46:26 psum02.aglt2.org bwctld[3271449]: FILE=endpoint.c, LINE=1314, PeerAgent: Peer cancelled test before expected

My logging system would appreciate anything you can do to fix these :)

Thanks,

Shawn

Hiro,

That message is a debug or maybe info message that appears to be logging at the incorrect level of error. It's actually the "success" message of that function, so seeing it is a good thing. You could stop it by making the log4perl configuration not log errors, although I would strongly not recommend that because it would mean actual errors would be getting ignored as well and future debugging of any issues would be quite hard.

I'll go ahead and commit this as a fix in the repository, but in the meanwhile if you want to manually shut it up you can edit line 107 in /opt/perfsonar_ps/regular_testing/lib/perfSONAR_PS/RegularTesting/Master/SelfScheduledTestChild.pm

from

$logger->error

to

$logger->debug


Thanks,
